Set the package version in DESCRIPTION — desc_set_version • desc

Both $set_version() and $bump_version() use dots to separate the version number components.

Usage

desc_set_version(version, file = ".", normalize = FALSE)

Arguments

version: A string or a base::package_version object.
file: DESCRIPTION file to use. By default the DESCRIPTION file of the current package (i.e. the package the working directory is part of) is used.
normalize: Whether to "normalize" (reorder and reformat) the fields when writing back the result. See desc_normalize().
