Compare pacakge sizes

[bms63]

Background

admiral has almost breached the 5MB size, which is a limit for CRAN submissions. We are trying to look for ways to reduce the size but looking at individual files within the R package and preparing dataframes that compare previous submission that is on CRAN with the development submission.

This is a bit tedious to do over and over again and I think an addin where we could supply the package in development and the package installed from CRAN.

There is some background discussion, images and code here: pharmaverse/admiral#2971

Definition of Done

• Create an addin that can compare the development version and installed version of a package
• The addin should produce two reports in the user directory
  • The first report should list all the sizes of each file in descending order
  • The second report should compare the sizes of each file between dev and install
    • This report should report the size differences between the two files
• Both report should have location/file path of the file provided
