R: Check Package Dependencies

package.dependencies {tools} | R Documentation

## Check Package Dependencies

### Description

Parses and checks the dependencies of a package against the currently installed version of R (and other packages).

### Usage

    package.dependencies(x, check = FALSE,
                         depLevel =
                         c("Depends", "Imports", "Suggests"))

### Arguments

`x` | A matrix of package descriptions as returned by `available.packages`.
`check` | If `TRUE`, return logical vector of check results. If `FALSE`, return parsed list of dependencies.
`depLevel` | Whether to look for `Depends` or `Suggests` level dependencies.

### Details

Currently we only check if the package conforms with the currently running version of R. In the future we might add checks for inter-package dependencies.
