'Additional_repositories' is meant for R package repositories, it won't work
with source code git repos. if a package is in 'Suggests' and can't be found
on CRAN or BioC, the additional repos given here are searched for it, but only
for it's availability. it won't be installed, CRAN only checks whether it
*could* be installed.
instead of throwing an error, i would probably fallback to a meaningful
default at the beginning of the function code and warn the user about it:
if(pkg == "loon" && !requireNamespace("loon", quietly = TRUE)) {
pkg == "<no bar>"
warning(paste(
"Package 'loon' is unavailable, falling back to the default:", pkg
))
} else {}
i'm dealing with a similar problem at the moment, the main diffenrence being
that i brought it onto myself by outsourcing specific parts (support for
several natural languages) of one huge package into several add-on packages,
and these add-on packages were rejected from CRAN so i can't make any of them
a dependecy. meaning they're not even archived :-D
