Missing dependency stops rupdate #55

Closed surmann closed 5 years ago

surmann commented 5 years ago

graph package is currently not available on CRAN, but rupdate wants to install this dependency to another package on my machine. My problem is, this unavailable package stops the whole update process:

> rupdate

Is it possible to skip those packages with a warning at the end and continue with the rest of the packages?

P.S.: Because I don't know which packages causes this error, I delete all packages and started from the scratch last week. Unfortunately, I have the same error this week again.

The problem was that rupdate was told to also install the suggests which does not seem to be a good idea. I changed that and now only dependencies and imports (and LinkingTo) are installed if needed. Additionally there is now a safemode which tries to update each package on it's own and collects all fails and prints them in the end. Can you try it out?

It runs now smoothly without the option but good to have this option. I will try it, when I observe such a problem again.
