Reverse Dep pkgs not subject to "Include Suggests" toggle

[aclark02-arcus]

dplyr selected in control panel: googledrive listed as a reverse dependency of dplyr, as highlighted below. However, when I load googledrive into the db, it doesn't show up in the "Rev Deps available in db" table.

That's because dplyr is only a Suggest for googledrive. I don't think googledrive should show up here while the "Include Suggests" toggle is off / FALSE.

I agree with you but currently the reverse dependency list is taken directly from riskmetric and is not broken down by dependency type.

[jthompson-arcus]

In order to further clarify. The reverse dependencies are being supplied to the app by riskmetric. They come as a character vector. In order for us to only show reverse dependencies where the investigated package is being imported (as opposed to merely being suggested), we would have to come up with a process to grab that information ourselves.

Alternatively, we could open a feature request on riskmetric to include this information in that metric.

As discussed on 6/18 dev meetup, let's not open a request with riskmetric yet and continue to think about how to best integrate it in the future, if at all.
