[R-pkg-devel] devtools::build_win()?

[Ben Bolker]

   There's a revdepcheck package (seems to be only on GitHub?):
https://github.com/r-lib/revdepcheck

  It's pretty robust and feature-ful (I'm currently 4 hours into a
6-hour batch job checking the lme4 reverse dependencies on 6 cores in
parallel ... I think the RStudio folks use it for even bigger problems
like ggplot2 reverse-dependency checking)
