[Bioc-devel] Help Remote Installations
Hi Francesco,
You reached the right list.
Congratulations on getting this far, it is not always easy to fix all the R
CMD checks and BiocChecks.
If these packages are optional, they should be used conditionally:
if (requireNamespace("pkg", quietly = TRUE)) {
pkg::optional_function(...)
}
And be listed on the Suggested field of the DESCRIPTION file.
For more information read the Writing R Extensions section 1.1.3.1
<https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html#Suggested-packages>.
However, note that depending on packages not on CRAN is usually not
recommended as the quality and availability is not known by R and
Bioconductor processes.
Best wishes,
Llu?s

Hello,
This is the first time I?m writing to you; I hope I?m doing it correctly
and contacting the right place.
I have the package almost ready to send. *BiocCheck* works well; I have
just one note about the length of a few functions. However, *R CMD check*
gives me a warning about some GitHub packages that I have not listed in the
DESCRIPTION or NAMESPACE. These packages implement methods that can be
optionally selected in my framework, and I?ve documented the installation
steps in the README if someone wants to use them.
Should I leave the warning as is, or is there something I can do to resolve
it?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Francesco
