Source: R/deps_timemachine.R

Package dependencies from DESCRIPTION files retrieved recursively for certain version or time point.

pac_deps_timemachine(

  version = NULL,
  at = NULL,
  fields = c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo"),
  recursive = TRUE
)

Arguments

pac

character a package name.

version

character version of a package. Default: NULL

at

Character string "all" is shorthand for that vector, character string "most" for the same vector without "Enhances", character string "strong" (default) for the first three elements of that vector. Default: c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo")

recursive

logical if to assess the dependencies recursively. Default: TRUE

Value

Note

Longer lived version is taken if 2 is available at the same date (switch time).

Examples

if (FALSE) {
pacs::pac_deps_timemachine("memoise", "0.2.1")
pacs::pac_deps_timemachine("memoise", at = as.Date("2019-01-01"))
pacs::pac_deps_timemachine("dplyr", at = as.Date("2015-01-01"))
