[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal]

Thanks I meant Imports,  just wasn't thinking.  The main issue was how deep to recurse.

For example,  if my package depends on the rerddap package,  is it best practice  to just list rerddap in the depends,  or should I also list all the packages rerddap depends on  - which can go many layers deep.  What is best practice for this?
