There was a problem hiding this comment.
Previously we didn't inform folks that, eg, their devtools version was out-of-date. Now we do.

Fixes #2683
The slowness in
build_readme()was already fixed by never installing dependencies inlocal_install()(07292ed). This PR is really about making that move safer or less mysterious by surfacing more details around package dependencies that are missing, behind, or ahead, when callingbuild_readme() --> local_install(). That makes use of a bunch of stuff related todev_sitrep(), sodev_sitrep()also got some love.
