# Package Manager R Package Rewriting Utils

This repository includes shared code used to read and rewrite R source and

binary package tarballs and ZIP archives without the overhead of temporary

files and multiple passes. It supports:

- Reading and return DESCRIPTION information

- Modifying the DESCRIPTION file

- Extracting the package README

- Calculating both the original and resulting tarball SHA256 hashes.

This library is used by Posit Package Manager to extract README/DESCRIPTION

data and rewrite packages internally for local and Git sources. It is also used

by the Posit Package Service when creating CRAN and Bioconductor package

snapshots.
