With many shiny apps built on a host of different package versions, it allows me to just forget about dangers of updating.\r\n\r\nHowever, each packrat repo adds a lot of overhead (I have an app that takes up 0.8 gigs, 0.5 of that is packrat, the rest is basically cached data).\r\n\r\nIt seems like it would make more sense to have a central library that has many package versions for each package, and then have the packrat store which versions in the central library the application needs.\r\n\r\nIs this possible to do with current packrat?"}}
