Extract a package's build dependencies from its DESCRIPTION

Collects Imports, Depends, and LinkingTo, strips version constraints, and drops base packages and R. Suggests is excluded, matching the scope pak's local_install_deps() installed. LinkingTo is included explicitly because uvr's own DESCRIPTION parser drops the root package's LinkingTo, which would miss compile-time header dependencies (for example RcppArmadillo).

Usage

parse_description_deps(desc_path)

Arguments

desc_path

Path to a DESCRIPTION file.

Value

Character vector of dependency package names.
