Asking an old housekeeping question...

My bad. I know I've asked this some time back but I'm afraid I've lost the post
along the way and am not having much luck searching the net.

Don't want to pad my R setup with orphan packages. Is there a small snippet of
code or even a single command that would allow me to check the packages I do use
for their dependencies and then I can chuck those that don't turn up as wanted
on the journey. Thanks in advance.

Later days...

??dependencies shows up (on my system)

tools::package.dependencies
tools::dependsOnPkgs

The first looks for dependencies; the second for reverse dependencies.
