[Bioc-devel] What can I do if a depended package is not installed in Bioconductor build server
Thank you for your helpful response, Valerie. My main concern was that the issue would persist which could make my package unsuitable for bioconductor 3.9 release next year. However, it does not seem to be the case from your explanation. For now I will focus on making sure my package works well with Linux and Windows, and worry about Mac later.

Hi Anh, We don't build CRAN packages from source on the Windows and Mac builders but instead install the binaries. Building all CRAN packages from source would require installation and maintenance of many more system dependencies. We may decide to support this in the future but currently it's not done. There is no R 3.6 El Capitan binary for devtools available which is why it's not installed on merida2: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/devtools/index.html Actually none of the CRAN packages have el-capitan R 3.6 binaries yet: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/ We hope the binaries will be built soon. You could make a request for this on the R-SIG-MAC mailing list:

I wonder if the issue will go away eventually or we will have to make changes to our packages to pass the check. For my HPAanalyze package specifically, merida2 also didn't have the XLConnect package and gave me errors. I worked around that by replacing XLConnect with openxlsx, which was actually a positive change for my package. However, devtools is a lot harder to replace as it is an integral part of my package development workflow. May you help me to understand how packages are installed in the build servers, and what I can do to fix the problem, please? Thank you, Anh Tran.
