The right place to ask is the package-dev mailing list. It is possible to list dependencies and then users can specify dependencies=TRUE in their call to install.packages. I also know that there have been super-packages that do install multiple other packages. When you issue the command `library(tidyverse)` you get a boatload of packages loaded at once, so why not look at that example. It has R code in several modules. The other mechanism I've seen is to construct a github page that has the needed code. > Thanks, > Polychronis > > Polychronis Kostoulas > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] Rhelp is also a plain text mailing list. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
