Follow-up. Started to look at this. First step is to make a graph showing dependencies between R packages(CRAN, Bioconductor,Omegahat). As a curiosum, this graph has diameter 20: > require(igraph) > diameter(CRANgraph) [1] 20 > dia <- get.diameter(CRANgraph) > dia [1] 221 1866 2344 2192 330 1615 994 2603 2477 1419 1497 2920 2907 3449 2812 [16] 2630 2620 2690 2772 2789 1518 > packFrame[dia+1,1] [1] "GGMselect" "network" "sna" "rgl" [5] "MASS" "lattice" "chron" "zoo" [9] "tis" "ggplot2" "hexbin" "marray" [13] "limma" "org.Hs.eg.db" "annotate" "Biostrings" [17] "BSgenome" "GenomicRanges" "Rsamtools" "ShortRead" [21] "hwriter" >
Here is used an inclusive definition of link, using all the fields Depends,Suggests,Imports,LinkingTo, Enhances.
