bigbang: Build 'Tidyverse'-Style Meta-Packages from Local Package Files
Creates meta-packages (in the style of the 'tidyverse') from locally stored package archives (.tar.gz, .zip). Designed for teams working behind institutional firewalls without access to package repositories. Resolves dependencies between local packages by building a dependency graph with topological ordering and cycle detection, classifies dependencies as local or CRAN, detects implicit dependencies by scanning source code, and generates the full meta-package scaffold including re-exports, vignettes and documentation.
