init() fails - can I ignore a package?

[Gabi H]

Hello,

I recently came across Packrat and since I'm no stranger to old code not working with new package set up I am very keen to use it. 

Init() on a current project fails though, as one of the packages (glmmADMB) can't be retrieved. This package is no longer available for my current version of R and I am no longer using it. Is there a way for me to tell Pacrat to ignore it? It seems that it won't initialise otherwise.

Error I get:

Error: Unable to retrieve package records for the following packages:

- 'glmmADMB'

In addition: Warning messages:

1: In FUN(X[[i]], ...) :

  Package 'glmmADMB' not available in repository or locally

2: In FUN(X[[i]], ...) :

  Failed to infer source for package 'glmmADMB'; using latest available version on CRAN instead

Hi Gabi,

You can set a packrat project option to handle this:

    packrat::opts$ignored.packages("glmmADMB")

After this, calls to 'snapshot()' should ignore this package.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Kevin
