reverse dependency checks

On Tue, 3 Sep 2019 at 14:53, Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D. via R-devel

I remember there was advice about a server that one could use for reverse dependency
checks, but I forgot to write it down.  (Or I did save the info and forgot where I saved
it...)   I have been doing the checks for survival myself, but the count is getting out of
hand (663, not counting bioconductor).

Any pointers?

You could try Yihui's crandalf [1]. Locally, I don't know what you are
using, but there are a few alternatives. Notably, Dirk's prrd [2] (the
only one that I tried myself and I can thus recommend), Gabor's
revdepcheck [3] and R's brand new tools::check_packages_in_dir().
