[R] How to list recursive package dependency prior to installation/upgrade of a package
Hi Is there an elegant way to recursive list all dependencies of a package prior to its installation or upgrade? I am particularly interested in finding which of the packages currently installed in my test/production environment would require an upgrade prior to actual installation/upgrade of a package. Can the packrat package help with this? Thank you

That is great! Is there a way to know version required in the dependent packages?
