Did google search and checked R-ext but found very little on this DESCRIPTION field. Does it document runtime dependency only? If I have some code that can only be used with a specific compiler (code makes use of GCC attributes), should I add SystemRequirements: GCC to the package's DESCRIPTION to document the build-only requirement. ---------------------------------------------------------- SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped)
