Hi there,
 
My question relates to getting information about R packages.  In particular i would like to be able to find from within R:
  what are a packages dependencies
  what are a packages reverse dependencies
  does a package contain a dll
 
The reason i ask is:
 
The organisation that i work for is introducing a secure intranet operating on windows PCs and laptops, and this requires that all software / executables / dlls are validated before they are combined to produce a generic PC build.
 
I would like to maximise the packages available to our staff and so for the packages that we have listed as buisness needs, i would like to include all reverse dependencies of this collection that do not have dlls.
 
I hope this makes sense (the question not the reason).
 
Kind regards,
Colin.
