Dear Bert,

The DESCRIPTION file contains additional useful information, e.g.:

1.) Package EBImage:
biocViews: Visualization
Packaged: 2021-05-19 23:53:29 UTC; biocbuild


2.) deSolve
Repository: CRAN


I have verified a few of the CRAN packages, and they seem to include the tag:

Repository: CRAN


The Bioconductor packages are different (see e.g. EBImage).

I am wondering if there is already a method to extract this info?


Sincerely,


Leonard

The help file tells you that installed.packages() looks at the
DESCRIPTION files of packages.
Section 1.1.1 of "Writing R Extensions" tells you what information is
in such files.

Dear List Members,


Is there a way to extract if an installed package is from Bioconductor
or if it is a regular Cran package?


The information seems to be *not* available in:

installed.packages()


Sincerely,


Leonard

I started to write some utility functions to analyse installed packages.
The latest version is on Github:
https://github.com/discoleo/R/blob/master/Stat/Tools.CRAN.R


# Basic Info:
info.pkg = function(pkg=NULL) {
      if(is.null(pkg)) { pkg = installed.packages(); }
      else {
          all.pkg = installed.packages();
          pkg = all.pkg[all.pkg[,1] %in% pkg, ];
      }
      p = pkg;
      p = as.data.frame(p);
      p = p[ , c("Package", "Version", "Built", "Imports")];
      return(p);
}
# Imported packages:
imports.pkg = function(pkg=NULL, sort=TRUE) {
      p = info.pkg(pkg);
      ### Imported packages
      imp = lapply(p$Imports, function(s) strsplit(s, "[,][ ]*"))
      imp = unlist(imp)
      imp = imp[ ! is.na(imp)]
      # Cleanup:
      imp = sub("[ \n\r\t]*+\\([-,. >=0-9\n\t\r]++\\) *+$", "", imp,
perl=TRUE)
      imp = sub("^[ \n\r\t]++", "", imp, perl=TRUE);
      # Tabulate:
      tbl = as.data.frame(table(imp), stringsAsFactors=FALSE);
      names(tbl)[1] = "Name";
      if(sort) {
          id = order(tbl$Freq, decreasing=TRUE);
          tbl = tbl[id,];
      }
      return(tbl);
}

match.imports = function(pkg, x=NULL, quote=FALSE) {
      if(is.null(x)) x = info.pkg();
      if(quote) {
          pkg = paste0("\\Q", pkg, "\\E");
      }
      # TODO: Use word delimiters?
      # "(<?=^|[ \n\r\t],)"
      if(length(pkg) == 1) {
          isImport = grepl(pkg, x$Imports);
          return(x[isImport, ]);
      } else {
          # TODO: concept?
          rez = lapply(pkg, function(p) x[grepl(p, x$Imports), ]);
          return(rez);
      }
}

Examples:

p = info.pkg();
f = imports.pkg();

### Analyze data

# imported only once: (only in the locally installed packages)
f$Name[f$Freq == 1]

match.imports("hunspell", p)
match.imports("labeling", p)
match.imports("rpart.plot", p)

match.imports(c("pROC", "ROCR"), p)
