Yes, we can do that. I'll add a sample workflow and documentation for this here. |

Note that devtools is a big package with a lot of dependencies. There is a much "ligter" alternative pak::local_install_dev_deps().

Good call! I'll change it up

Please note that this might have undesired side effect on the R CMD CHECK you are executing here. What if your utils package (regardless if it's devtools or pak) will install also package X and this package will be required but not specified in your tested package. You will have a false positive.
There are two ways to address that problem
A) utils package to temp libpath
- create temp libpath and install utils package there
- use it from temp libpath and install dev deps to default libpath
- RCMDCHECK from default libpath
B) dev deps to temp libpath
- install utils package inside default libpath
- use it from default libpath and install dev deps to temp libpath
- RCMDCHECK from temp libpath
(I personally used B) in verdepcheck and when executing R CMD CHECK viarcmdcheckpackage and stopped onlibpathargument is not respected during build step r-lib/rcmdcheck#195. Haven't tried this from shell)
Adds a workflow that allows you to test your R package on alternate Linux-based CRAN systems.
