Circular dependency bewteen dplyr and dtplyr preventing install

[zachary-foster]

When I try to install dtplyr, I get the following:

> devtools::install_github("hadley/dtplyr")
Downloading GitHub repo hadley/dtplyr@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/hadley/dtplyr/zipball/master

...

This never completes and I have to stop the command.

Could this be due to the two packages referencing each other in "remotes"?

https://github.com/hadley/dtplyr/blob/master/DESCRIPTION#L25

Should devtools perhaps throw an error when this kind of thing happens?

Thanks for all of the great packages by the way!

This is fixed in the dev version of devtools - we'll be pushing an update to CRAN soon!

Ok, thanks!
