Getting around to doing this now, since I just discovered that pkgsearch package has exactly the functionality we need (for CRAN at least, Bioc is a separate animal).
TODO:
Just realized that pkgsearch
uses curl
to make HTTP calls, which... complicates testing beyond reason, since we wouldn't be able to use vcr
anymore. It will be better to reimplement pkgsearch
functionality instead with httr
, just like in current version of deepdep
.
First of all thanks for this package, it's very useful. I am not sure how feasible this would be to implement, but it could be helpful to have a package version argument for the
get_dependencies
anddeepdep
functions. For my use case, I was trying to compare the dependencies of an old version of my package to the current version.One workaround I attempted was to install the old version of the package with
devtools::install_version
and then usedeepdep
withlocal = TRUE
. However, I ran into an issue installing the old package version so this didn't quite work.
