Hi,
I have a package (dartR) that needs to be updated by CRAN (and got a time set
until a certain date). It depends on a package that is currently showing errors
in the CRAN results and therefore fails. The maintainer of that package is
busily trying to rectify the error (as can be seen be repeated submissions in
the last weeks), but was not able yet to fix it. As we are running out of time
my approach would be to have a version of the package that fixes it and use
Remotes: in the description. It runs fine without errors.
In the R-packages book I read the following:
"It's important to note that you should not submit your package to CRAN in the
intermediate state, meaning with a Remotes field and with a dependency required
at a version that's not available from CRAN or Bioconductor. For CRAN packages,
this can only be a temporary development state, eventually resolved when the
dependency updates on CRAN and you can bump your minimum version accordingly."
So is it okay to submit our package with a remote statement until the
maintainer of the other package has fixed their issues?
Thanks in advance,
Bernd
