[R-pkg-devel] Add SystemRequirements of imported package in description file?
AFAIK, no, though if the upstream package cannot (or won't) be implemented without that system requirement and it really is a requirement for this package then you might want to indicate "libzzz via Package X" just to be clear for users. If it isn't a requirement for most of your functionality then you may want to use Suggests to alleviate the problem.

Hi all, should ?SystemRequirements? of an imported package be listed in the description file of a package? General scenario: - Package X imports Package Y. - Package Y lists ?libzzz? as SystemRequirements. Should Package X list the SystemRequirements ?libzzz? as well? (question occurred @ https://github.com/dleutnant/influxdbr/issues/47) Thank you and happy easter!
