Code tools for identifying which package A functions package B use?

Hi,

I'd like to list all package PkgA functions that another package PkgB
use via Depends or Imports (ignoring Suggests for simplicity).  As
long as PkgB uses importFrom("PkgA", ...) it's just a matter of
parsing the NAMESPACE file or inspecting
asNamespace("PkgB")$.__NAMESPACE__.$imports.  However, what can be
done in case PkgB uses import("PkgA")?  Is there a function/package
already available for this?

Thanks,

Henrik

The best thing I have found is codetoolsBioC in the Bioconductor subversion
repository.

Best,
Kasper

Thanks Kasper, that seems to do it:

$ url=https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/codetoolsBioC
$ svn checkout --username readonly --password readonly $url
$ R CMD build codetoolsBioC
$ R CMD INSTALL codetoolsBioC
$ R

            

      
      
      
    

        
attaching required packages 'MASS'
Loading required package: MASS
