</span>actually it was once called "Install dependencies", until somebody<br>
pointed out that this is not what the option is doing. The<br>
corresponding parameter in install.packages() is called "dependencies",<br>
but dependencies=TRUE means installing both hard dependencies _and_<br>
suggested packages, while the default dependencies=NA still means<br>
installing all true dependencies.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>...With all due respect to whomever pointed that out...<br><br></div><div>Who cares what the R command is or does? In most cases, if people knew how to use R "naked," they wouldn't be using RKWard. In the R GUI for OSX, it says "install dependencies," and it uses dependencies=TRUE. If it's good enough for the official GUI from CRAN, I think it's clear enough. In fact, deviating from it is confusing.<br><br></div><div>As a user, I don't care whether they are hard dependencies or suggested packages; I just want things to work. Something like that was a concern when we were using 56kbps modems and had 100MB hard drives. Today, who cares about an extra meg or two of "suggested" packages? We won't even notice!<br><br></div><div>Speaking of the bug tracker... Do I need a different login to add to it? I have a KDE account, but it doesn't seem to let me do anything...<br></div></div></div></div>
