[R-pkg-devel] EXTERNAL: CRAN packages dependency on bioconductor packages

Hi Marcel,

I appreciate your suggestion and clarification. It is worth mentioning that ?rmarkdown? is included in the Import filed, and I apologize for not stating it here. Interestingly,  I was able to successfully upload StepReg version 1.5.0 to CRAN with BiocStyle listed in the Suggests field. However, I encountered this issue this time around. I attempted to address it by adding an empty `biocViews:` field in the DESCRIPTION, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the problem. It seems that there are some issues with CRAN check.

Best,
Junhui

Hi Junhui,

There are about 25 packages in CRAN that use BiocStyle, including yours.
It seems that MetaIntegrator is also facing the same error. I have not
looked too deeply into the issue but it seems that you should also
include "rmarkdown" in the Suggests field.

AFAIK, there is no need to include an empty `biocViews:` field in the
DESCRIPTION. CRAN knows about Bioconductor repositories via
setRepositories().

Note. Users should use BiocManager to resolve Bioconductor dependencies
(rather than setRepositories).

Best regards,
Marcel
