Hello developers,

Recent changes to knitr are producing an ERROR on the build reports for many 
packages (software,  experiment data, workflows).  This is a legitimate ERROR 
and as a maintainer you should address the issue in any offending package as 
soon as possible.   As an example, I fixed the Bioconductor maintained 
experiment data package GSE62944 this morning. The ERROR will read something 
like:

Error: processing vignette 'GSE62944.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
The 'rmarkdown' package should be installed and declared as a dependency of the 
'GSE62944' package (e.g., in the 'Suggests' field of DESCRIPTION), because the 
latter contains vignette(s) built with the 'rmarkdown' package. Please see 
https://github.com/yihui/knitr/issues/1864 for more information.


The ERROR message knitr produces is very explicit on how to fix and is very 
straightforward.  Please remember to always do a version bump when making 
changes to your package in addition to updating the Suggest field in the 
DESCRIPTION.


 Cheers.
