search for: pkgdepends

We will deprecate the functions pkgDepends(), package.dependencies() and 2-3 less prominent ones from package tools, in R's development version (short "R-devel"), i.e., the one that will probably become R 3.3.0 sometime in April. Instead, package_dependencies() should be used, possibly after non-default use of available.pa...

Is there a function similar to pkgDepends() that returns the packages that a particular package imports or imports from? I believe I can get this information from the matrix returned from installed.packages() but something like pkgDepends() would be more convenient. I did not find anything useful in my search of the R-help archives (my s...

Executive summary: getRemotePkgDepends seems to use the wrong default string to (try to) download the CRAN package information. ======================== Someone asked me about the behavior of tools::pkgDepends() , and in investigating I discovered the following: ## tools:::getRemotePkgDepends ## undebug(tools:::getRemotePkgDepends)...

I've been working on a fairly complex package that is a wrapper for several optimization routines. In this work, I've attempted to do the following: - edit the package code foo.R - in a root terminal at the right directory location R CMD REMOVE foo R CMD INSTALL foo However, I don't get the right code. In fact, if I just do the remove, library(foo) does not throw an

Hello Everyone,   Learning about R and its wonderful array of functions. If it's not obvious, I usually try to find out what a function stands for. I think this helps me remember better.   One function that has me stumped is "sink." Can anyone tell me if this stands for something?   Thanks,   Paul         __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML
