R: Show differences between the last snapshot and the library

status {packrat} | R Documentation

## Show differences between the last snapshot and the library

### Description

Shows the differences between the project's packrat dependencies, its private package library, and its R scripts.

### Usage

    status(project = NULL, lib.loc = libDir(project), quiet = FALSE)

### Arguments

`project` | The directory that contains the R project.
`lib.loc` | The library to examine. Defaults to the private library associated with the project directory.
`quiet` | Print detailed information about the packrat status to the console?

### Details

These differences are created when you use the normal R package management commands like `install.packages`, `update.packages`, and `remove.packages`. To bring these differences into packrat, you can use `snapshot`.

Differences can also arise if one of your collaborators adds or removes packages from the packrat dependencies. In this case, you simply need to tell packrat to update your private package library using `restore`.

### Value

Either `NULL` if a `packrat` project has not yet been initialized, or a (invisibly) a `data.frame` with components:

`package` | The package name,
`packrat.version` | The package version used in the last snapshot,
`packrat.source` | The location from which the package was obtained,
`library.version` | The package version available in the local library,
`currently.used` | Whether the package is used in any of the R code in the current project.
