This is primarily for package developers. It allows the testing of what the recursive dependencies would be if a package was removed from the immediate dependencies.
Arguments
- pkg
A package name to be testing the dependencies
- depsRemoved
A vector of package names who are to be "removed" from the
pkg
immediate dependencies- verbose
Numeric or logical indicating how verbose should the function be. If -1 or -2, then as little verbosity as possible. If 0 or FALSE, then minimal outputs; if
1
or TRUE, more outputs;2
even more. NOTE: inRequire
function, whenverbose >= 2
, also returns details as ifreturnDetails = TRUE
(for backwards compatibility).
Value
A list with 3 named lists Direct
, Recursive
and IfRemoved
.
Direct
will show the top level direct dependencies, either Remaining
or
Removed
. Recursive
will show the full recursive dependencies, either
Remaining
or Removed
. IfRemoved
returns all package dependencies that
are removed for each top level dependency. If a top level dependency is not
listed in this final list, then it means that it is also a recursive
dependency elsewhere, so its removal has no effect.
