title: 'abitools: Detect When Installed R Packages Need to be Rebuilt'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.abitools
abstract: 'An installed R package may contain state copied from its dependencies at
  build time: compiled calls into the C API of a ''LinkingTo'' package, S4 class definitions
  that extend classes from other packages, or copies of functions. When such a dependency
  changes, the binary package must be rebuilt. This package finds these critical dependencies
  and computes fingerprints of the parts that dependents copy, such that package repositories
  can rebuild exactly the packages that are affected by a change, rather than relying
  on version numbers.'
