Move from a package developed with fusen to a “classical” package

After a while, you may want to move from a package developed with fusen to a “classical” package. This is possible with the sepuku() function. This function will delete all the flat files (i.e files listed in the fusen configuration file, as well as rmd or qmd files starting with “flat” in the “dev/” and “dev/flat_history” folders). It will also remove the fusen-related tags added by calls to fusen::inflate() in files located in the “R/”, “tests/” and “vignettes/” folders. Finally, it will also remove the fusen configuration file if it exists.

Switching from a package developed with fusen to a “classical” package might be useful if you want to share your package with someone who is not familiar with fusen or if you want to stop using fusen for any reason.

Please be aware that this operation is irreversible. You will lose all the history of your flat files and the fusen-related tags in your package. Therefore, it is recommended to use code versioning to be able to revert this, in case you would change your mind.
