similar to: new function to tools/utils package: dependencies based on DESCRIPTION file

Dear Joris, So it does looks like the proposed function makes a lot sense then, isn't it?

Hi Michael, Are you willing to accept patch for this? I'm already using this and few related functions for a while, it plays well. I could wrap it as patch to utils, or tools?

I agree that the utils package needs some improvements related to this, and hope to make them eventually. This type of feedback is very helpful.

Dear Jan, It is unavoidable to have OS and R dependencies for devtools. The building process for packages is both OS and R dependent, so devtools has to be too according to my understanding.

Thank you Gabriel, Just for future readers. Below is a base R way to address this common problem, as instructed by you (+stopifnot to suppress print). Rscript -e 'stopifnot(file.copy("DESCRIPTION", file.path(tdir<-tempdir(), "PACKAGES"))); db<-available.packages(paste0("file://", tdir));

Dear R team, Are suggested dependencies mandatory in context of `R CMD check` when using env var `_R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=FALSE`? Suggested dependencies are nice because are optional. But that feature often isn't valid when trying to run `R CMD check` on them. I would like to use `export _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=FALSE`, which according to the comment in `tools/R/check.R`: > The

Jan and Hadley, There's also the issue of tests, vignettes, or examples requiring Suggested packages (one of the core applications of Suggests, in fact). These are all checked by R CMD check, so to ensure any package which should pass check would do so without suggested packages installed would require turning all of those checks off, which takes quite a few of the teeth out of R CMD check

Hi Martin, Indeed it does (and I should have confirmed myself with R-patched and R-devel before posting...) Thanks, and sorry for the noise.

Dear R devs, I would like to raise a request for a simple helper function. Utility function to extract package dependencies from DESCRIPTION file. I do think that tools package is better place, for such a fundamental functionality, than community packages. tools pkg seems perfect fit (having already great function write_PACKAGES). Functionality I am asking for is already in R svn repository

In fact, this does reproduce on R-devel: > options(download.file.method = "libcurl") > options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cran.rstudio.com/", CRANextra = + "http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin")) > install.packages("lattice") ## could be any package Installing package into ?/Users/kevinushey/Library/R/3.3/library?

Dear R-devel list, I would like to enquire about the existence of blank lines in the DESCRIPTION file. Testing different possibilities with tools:::.read_description suggests that starting or ending with blank lines is acceptable while blank lines in the middle of the file get caught by out <- tryCatch(read.dcf(dfile, keep.white = .keep_white_description_fields), error = function(e)

Thank you Dan but it isn't my tests that are failing (all of them pass without problem) but one of the examples from the inst/examples directory. I did try, however, to start R with the environmental variables as you suggest but it had no effect on my tests.
