As I said, I don't think there are any left (besides rmarkdown, which you are
working on).

Yes, there are a lot of nodejs dependencies which seem not to be packaged (didn't
check ITPs / RFPs):

node-client-sessions
node-http-proxy
node-morgan
node-pause
node-regexp-quote
node-rewire
node-shiny-server-client -> https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-server-client/
node-sockjs
node-stable
node-unixgroups -> https://github.com/rstudio/node-unixgroups/

I have absolutely no experience in packaging this stuff :-(

Best,

Philip
