Hi,
Is there a way to do a dry run of install.packages() or update.packages() to
simulate how an R environment would be modified by the installation or update
of a particular set of packages (with their dependencies)?
I am particularly interested in finding how dependencies would be recursively
updated to newer versions.
Set the `lib` parameter of `install.packages` to an empty directory, and
see what gets installed there.
