    (devel/R-remotes) Updated 2.1.0 to 2.2.0, make test does not pass yet

    # remotes 2.2.0

    ##  New functions and features

    * New `system_requirements()` function to query the Public RStudio Package Manager for system requirements for a package (and its dependencies)

    * Remotes functions can now install dependencies from additional DESCRIPTION fields, e.g. passing `dependencies = "Config/Needs/website"` will install the dependencies listed in the `Config/Needs/website: ` field in the package's DESCRIPTION.
      Prefixing fields with `Config/Needs` allows them to pass `R CMD check` without a NOTE, so it is the recommended format for these extra dependencies.

    * `install_*()` family of functions now use the default branch in the repository, not the `master` branch (@MyKo101,#508).

    ## Minor improvements and fixes

    * Internal functions `remote_download()`, `remote_metadata()`, `remote_package_name()` and `remote_sha()` are now exported, so 3rd party packages could provide methods for new remote types (#509, #56)

    * Internal functions `add_metadata()`, `github_remote()` are now exported. They are mainly for 3rd party extensions and should not be used by most users (#485).

    * `install_version()` now keeps searching subsequent repositories for the requested version, rather than failing if the version it finds in an early repository is unsuitable. (#305, @kenahoo)

    * `install_version()` now understands specifications like '>= 1.0' or '>= 1.12.0, < 1.14' to install the first version of the package it can find that satisfies the criteria. (#305, @kenahoo)

    * `install_version()` now avoids use of `base::url()`, as prior to R 3.6.2 it had a bug when downloading large files (#463)

    * `parse_submodules()` internal regular expression is now PCRE 2 compatible (#502, @jan-glx)

    * `update_packages()` argument `force` has been deprecated and no longer has any effect (#521)

    * Another fix for the mixed binary and source dependency issue, it should hopefully be fully squashed now (#296)

    * The upgrade menu is now interruptible in RStudio (#489).

    * Internal GitHub functions now correctly handle cases when characters are not representable in the default locale, but are representable in UTF-8 (#492).

    # remotes 2.1.1

    ## Minor improvements and fixes

    * Installing mixed binary and source dependencies when the latest versions of
      some packages do not have binaries yet should now install dependencies in the
        correct order to prevent load failures (#296)

    * `github_error()` now also works when a GitHub (Enterprise) server does not
      return information about the rate limit (@dpprdan, #396, #413).

    * `install_gitlab` passes the `quiet` argument on to `gitlab_pat` (@michaelchirico, #437)

    * `remotes` is now resilient against installed packages that declare
      `RemoteType: standard` but do not include a `RemoteRepos` or `RemotePkgType`
        field. In such a case, the values for `getOption("repos")` and
          `getOption("pkgType")` will be used (respectively).

    * `install_gitlab()` now installs from repositories in subgroups and with dots
      in their name. `subdir` is now an explicit argument instead of implicit in
        `repo` (@robertdj, #259, #420).

    * `install()` now passes the ellipsis `...` to `install_deps()` (@Neil-Schneider, #411)

    * The tests have been updated to work with newer versions of callr and R 4.0
