Did you write it from scratch or modify the function from the package
you were referencing? There may be some licensing issues you need to
consider either way.

Dear Brian,
Dear Uwe,
Thank you for your replies.
I wrote a function that does the same stuff that the suggested package
does.
Now there are no reference to suggested packages.

And even this cannot work for strong dependencies, as sztrong
must be available from mainstream repositoreis.

I think you should be using:
Additional_repositories: https://github.com/mrdwab/SOfun
since that is the actual repository.

Good evening,
I am trying to upload my package, called PdPDB 2.0.
When building and checking the package with R-studio with --as-cran
option
selected, everything looks ok but, once I tried to upload the package
to
CRAN I had the following reply:
*"Strong dependencies not in mainstream repositories:*
* SOfun*
** checking package namespace information ... OK*
** checking package dependencies ... ERROR*
*Package required but not available: 'SOfun'"*
I understand the issue it with SOfun that is a package I downloaded
and
installed from this github url: https://github.com/mrdwab/SOfun
I came back to CARN policies and I have read:
*"Packages on which a CRAN package depends should be available from a
mainstream repository: if any mentioned in ?Suggests? or ?Enhances?
fields
are not from such a repository, where to obtain them at a repository
should
be specified in an ?Additional_repositories? field of the DESCRIPTION
file
(as a comma-separated list of repository URLs) or for other means of
access, described in the ?Description? field."*
So, I updated the DESCRIPTION file as follows:
Additional_repositories: http://news.mrdwab.com/install_github.R
Before to proceed to submission, I would like to know if this is the
right
way to proceed or I misinterpreted the submission procedure.
Thank you for reading this email,
Best,
