kwb.pkgbuild 0.3.0 2026-05-07

  • Modernise GitHub Actions workflows (both in .github/workflows/ of this repo and the templates in inst/templates/ci_github-actions/) so that they run on current GitHub-hosted runners again:

    • Bump action versions: actions/checkout@v5, actions/upload-artifact@v4, codecov/codecov-action@v5, JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action@v4.7.3, and replace the deprecated r-lib/actions@master references with r-lib/actions@v2. The @v5 / @v4.7.3 bumps run on Node.js 24 and avoid the GitHub deprecation warning for Node.js 20 actions (forced default June 2026, removed September 2026, see https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-19-deprecation-of-node-20-on-github-actions-runners/).

    • Switch from the retired ubuntu-20.04 runner to ubuntu-latest and rename the matrix entry oldrel to oldrel-1.

    • Replace the archived r-hub/sysreqs step with r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies@v2, which also handles dependency caching out of the box.

    • Fix a stale if: runner.os == 'Linux (no, try without!)' condition that silently disabled the Linux system-dependency step.

    • pkgdown workflow: deploy via JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action@v4 on ubuntu-latest, with explicit permissions: contents: write and a concurrency group.

    • test-coverage workflow: produce a Cobertura report and upload via the new codecov/codecov-action@v4; upload test artefacts on failure.

    • pr-commands workflow: gate /document and /style jobs on github.event.issue.pull_request so they no longer fire on plain issue comments.

  • Add optional Claude Code GitHub Actions workflows (analogue to kwb.raindrop):

    • New templates in inst/templates/ci_github-actions-claude/: claude.yaml (responds to @claude mentions in issues and PR reviews) and claude-code-review.yaml (automatic PR review on opened / synchronize).

    • New exported function use_ghactions_claude() to add only the Claude workflows to an existing package.

    • use_ghactions() and use_pkg() gain a claude = FALSE toggle that additionally installs the Claude workflows when set to TRUE. The workflows expect a CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN repository secret to be configured in GitHub.

  • Documentation cleanup:

    • Remove dead duplicate definitions of git(), construct_commit_message() and github_push() in R/deploy_site_github_with_extra_files.R (they were silently overwritten by later definitions in the same file).

    • Fix copy/paste errors in @return for use_index_md(), use_badge_ghactions_rcmdcheck() and use_badge_runiverse() (which referenced “travis” / “codecov” badges instead of the actual return value).

    • Mark internal helpers (use_installation(), read_description(), kwb_author(), kwb_package()) with @noRd so they no longer create public Rd entries.

    • Rewrite the titles / descriptions for use_pkgdown(), use_readme_md() and use_index_md() so the man pages describe what the function actually does.

    • Fix typos (releveant, directoy, aleady, DESCIPTION, (default: KWB-R"), file patern) across roxygen blocks and Rd files.

  • use_pkgdown(): expose the KWB logo as parameters kwb_logo_url (default: https://logos.kompetenz-wasser.io/KWB_Logo_M_Blau_RGB.svg) and kwb_logo_href (default: https://www.kompetenz-wasser.de) so the default logo URL is no longer hardcoded inside the function body and can be overridden per package without forking the function.

  • Vignettes:

    • New vignette vignette("github-actions", package = "kwb.pkgbuild") describing the default workflows, the optional Claude Code integration, the CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN secret, and how to refresh workflows in existing packages.

    • Update vignette("tutorial"): replace stale Travis / AppVeyor references with the GitHub Actions workflow set, document the new claude = TRUE switch in use_pkg(), and fix the kwb.pkgdown / kwb.pkddown typos.

kwb.pkgbuild 0.2.3 2022-10-24

  • Fix GitHub action worfklows:

    • fix continuous integration workflows (i.e. pkgdown, Rcmdcheck, test-coverage)), which were broken after 2022-10-15 due to unavailable master branch in upstream dependency r-lib/actions.

    • fix pkgdown GitHub actions workflow, which crashed during build_news() generation on windows due to an recent change in Windows that has made it incompatible with old openssl servers (thanks to @jeroen for that hint!) and @garborcsardi for this workaround!). For full discussion on this issue (which might be fixed in an upcoming pkgdown version 2.0.7) see pkgdown#2211
