I don't think we want to do this, just so we're as similar to CRAN as possible
Hmmmm, I'm not sure. We are asserting that the code is not running on CRAN, which is true. Maybe we're conflating too many definitions of "on cran"? It probably should...
Ok, that's true. We should be setting `NOT_CRAN` at a higher level.
It might also be useful to allow only selected recursive deps - e.g. for pillar, tibble is the most important to check.
I think we should copy the interface of `cloud_check()` so that `revdep_check()` gets an explicit `packages` argument. Then you're free to add whatever packages you want (e.g. a random sample...
CRAN policy seems to be a moving target, and they don't seem at all interested in working with rappdirs, despite it being used by many packages, so yeah, seems like...
@cboettig also what happens if there was important stuff stored in the directory that the older versions of R used? I think it's hard to totally automate this.
Yeah, I think at some point we'll just supersede this package and point folks to `tools::R_user_dir()` instead.
Yeah, and I think we should probably steer new users away from the package. Maybe include a backported version of `R_user_dir()` etc in rappdirs for folks who need it in...
The plan is to deprecate rappdirs in the near future.
