check_cran: Check a package from CRAN.

Description

This is useful for automatically checking that dependencies of your packages work.

Usage

check_cran(pkg, ...)

Arguments

pkg
Package name - note that unlike other devtools functions this is the name of a CRAN package, not a path.
...
other parameters passed onto download.packages

Details

The downloaded package and check directory are only removed if the check is successful - this allows you to inspect the results to figure out what went wrong.
