Hi Jan, Thanks for volunteering. You, me, Duncan Murdoch (if interested) and anyone else who is interested should setup an informal chat. We need to ensure that the API is right and that it fits in well with other ongoing efforts. Michael On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 1:40 PM, Jan Gorecki wrote: > Hi

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? Best, Jan On 16 June 2016 at 14:00, Michael Lawrence wrote: > I agree that the utils package needs some improvements rela

Dear Joris, So it does looks like the proposed function makes a lot sense then, isn't it? Cheers, Jan On 16 June 2016 at 08:37, Joris Meys wrote: > 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 devt

FWIW, the `desc` package can extract dependencies from a local DESCRIPTION, and it is lightweight. It only depends on small, R-only packages (R6 and crayon). ❯ desc::desc_get_deps(".") type package version 1 Imports DBI * 2 Imports markdown * 3 Imports rhandso

Hi Thierry, I'm perfectly aware of it. Any idea when devtools would be shipped as a base R package, or at least recommended package? To actually answer the problem described in my email. I have range of useful functions available tools/utils packages which are shipped together with R. They doesn't

2016-06-14 Thread Jan Górecki
Hi all, Packages tools and utils have a lot of useful stuff for R developers. I find one task still not as straightforward as it could. Simply to extract dependencies of a package from DESCRIPTION file (before it is even installed to library). This would be valuable in automation of CI setup in a
