Hi, we are currently developing a package that we want to submit to Bioconductor and I am working on the documentation part at the moment. Our packages requires Rcpp and we have added this dependency under Imports into the DESCRIPTION file. What I am wondering is whether in this situation biocLite would automatically install Rcpp for users that haven't installed the package yet? Or do I need to inform users to install Rcpp first and then use the biocLite command? I have read through your documentation online, but it wasn't clear to me whether biocLite automatically install dependencies listed in Imports.
biocLite() uses install.packages but with appropriate repositories; install.packages() installs dependencies (Depends: and Imports: and LinkingTo: by default) so no need for the user to separately install Rcpp. Martin
Thanks for your help. Cheers, Stefan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
