[R-pkg-devel] I'm trying to include phyloseq as a CRAN package dependency and for the life of me I can't figure it out

CRAN knows about Bioconductor packages, so add phyloseq to Depends: , Imports:, or Suggests: as appropriate.

These CRAN packages seem to Import phyloseq, for instance

db = available.packages(repos = "https://cloud.R-project.org")
rownames(db)[grepl("phyloseq", db[,"Imports"])]

[1] "adaptiveGPCA"      "breakaway"         "chem16S"
[4] "HTSSIP"            "HybridMicrobiomes" "microbial"
[7] "MicrobiomeStat"    "mixKernel"         "SigTree"
[10] "SIPmg"             "treeDA"

I had this package included in a previous upload and it didn?t cause errors. However, now it is getting flagged as an error. I?ve included biocViews: phyloseq in the DESCRIPTION file, but that did not help. Unfortunately, I cannot make phyloseq a weak dependency. It can be installed through Bioconductor but not CRAN. Any advice, or examples would be appreciated. I have tried most of the ?solutions? I have found online without success.

Thanks!
