I tend to run batch jobs via littler. These often start with a single line
loading one or two in-house packages. Now, most the Depends of these
in-house packages now use Depends: entries in DESCRIPTION, rather than
require() in R/zzz.R. This seems to have at least one undesirable side
effect: noise.
Using require(), I can choose the 'quietly=TRUE, warn.conflict=FALSE'
arguments, and additionally I can wrap the require call in stopfifnot()
making it both quiet and failure proof.
But I cannot figure out how to tell R via DESCRIPTION how to
a) not tell me its loading a package
b) keep quiet about the conflicts
In other words, how do I get rid of all this:
foo:~s> ./someLittlerScript
Loading required package: MASS
Loading required package: grDevices
Loading required package: graphics
Loading required package: stats
Loading required package: utils
Loading required package: zoo
Attaching package: 'zoo'
The following object(s) are masked from package:base :
rapply
