[R-pkg-devel] Package dependency graphs of packages in development (local)

[Rainer M Krug]

Thanks Gabor. 

This gives me an impressive long list. Is there a way to see this graphically? Parsing seems to be a long, tedious process.

I want to identify packages which I should leave out to reduce the number of (indirect) dependencies.
