Find dependencies from multiple repositories

This function queries the selected repositories for dependencies of the selected packages and returns the first working occurence.

Usage

wood_dependencies(packages, repos = "cran")

Arguments

packages

character()
Names of the packages to query for.

repos

character()
A vector of repositories to query. The following values are available:

• "cran", meaning CRAN;

• "bioc@release", meaning Bioconductor, where release should be replaced with a valid Bioconductor release code or one of "release", "devel";

• "github/user", meaning GitHub, where user should be replaced with a valid user or organization name (e.g. turtletopia);

• "runiverse@universe", meaning R-universe, where universe should be replaced with a valid universe name (e.g. turtletopia);

• "local#index", meaning a local library, where index should be replaced with an integer index of a library in base::.libPaths() or an all keyword;

• "core", meaning base R packages;

• a URL if none of the above is matched.

Value

A list named after queried packages, each element being a data frame with three columns, all in string format:

• package (package name),

• version (minimum version requirement or NA if none),

• type (dependency type, e.g. "Imports").
