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
