Reverse dependency checks? #362

Closed wlandau closed 4 months ago

wlandau commented 4 months ago

Would it be feasible to run reverse dependency checks when a package is updated? Maybe this is too computationally demanding for the development versions of packages, but maybe it would help with releases? C.f. #135, #149, #289.

Thanks yes that is in the pipeline. See also: https://github.com/r-universe-org/help/issues/364

Awesome!

Would it be possible to opt into revdep checks for an entire universe? In the case of https://github.com/r-releases, it would be cumbersome to manually activate revdep checks for each new added package.

As I mention in https://github.com/r-universe-org/help/issues/369#issue-2164948647, I don't actually think revdep checks are necessary for r-releases. But it would really help to rerun the checks right when a strong dependency updates, like you originally suggested in https://github.com/r-universe-org/help/issues/368#issuecomment-1972767243. I posted a separate issue for this in #369. Closing this one in favor of #369 and #362.
