My package requires a version of 'DT' that's only available on github. I tried following the answer to this SO <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30493388/create-an-r-package-that-depends-on-another-r-package-located-on-github> (specifying 'Remotes' in the DESCRIPTION in addition to the version needed in 'Imports'). Build failed with "Package required and available but unsuitable version: 'DT'". How should this be handled? Thank you,
Packages must be on CRAN or Bioconductor; the rationale is that these represent stable, tested, and somehow mature packages, rather than an arbitrary package of unknown stability. The StackOverflow question is a solution for devtools, but biocLite() uses install.packages(). Martin
