I tend to run batch jobs via littler. These often start with a single line loading one or two in-house packages. Now, most the Depends of these in-house packages now use Depends: entries in DESCRIPTION, rather than require() in R/zzz.R. This seems to have at least one undesirable side effect: noise.
Using require(), I can choose the 'quietly=TRUE, warn.conflict=FALSE' arguments, and additionally I can wrap the require call in stopfifnot() making it both quiet and failure proof. But I cannot figure out how to tell R via DESCRIPTION how to a) not tell me its loading a package b) keep quiet about the conflicts In other words, how do I get rid of all this: foo:~s> ./someLittlerScript Loading required package: MASS Loading required package: grDevices Loading required package: graphics Loading required package: stats Loading required package: utils Loading required package: zoo Attaching package: 'zoo' The following object(s) are masked from package:base : rapply Thanks, Dirk -- Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something. -- Thomas A.
