Hi,
Thanks for the advice.
Still not 100% sure if that is okay to submit to CRAN.
As mentioned I have new packages that have others in the suggest (and yes the
examples/tests run fine by making the dependent),
But if I have a package that is not yet on CRAN in the suggest I see that
running winbuilder.
Suggests or Enhances not in mainstream repositories:
dartR.sim
If it is not in a mainstream repo, you can declare where users can get
it from, see the explanation in the CRAN policies how to declare it.
* checking package namespace information ... OK
* checking package dependencies ... NOTE
Package suggested but not available for checking: 'dartR.sim'
This is OK, once the former is explained.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Can I explain when I submit that dartR.sim will be there (as mentioned the
examples run fine), but obviously is not yet on CRAN.
I assume the same would happen if I put the new packages in Enhances…

Dear Bernd,
You could contact the maintainer of the spatstat package. They did the same
thing (splitting a large package into several smaller ones) a few years ago.
Having the base package suggesting an add-on and the add-on depending on or
suggesting the base package might create an unwanted loop.

Bernd,
the sequence in which you submit doesn't matter - the packages have to work
regardless of the sequence. Suggests means that the dependency is optional, not that
it can break tests. You have to skip the tests that cannot be run due to missing
dependencies (see 1.1.3.1<http://1.1.3.1> in R-exts)
Cheers,
Simon

Hi,
I have a question regarding the separation of a package into smaller pieces (to
avoid long testing/installation times and more important to avoid to many
dependencies)
I am the maintainer of an R package (dartR) which has grown and is now at the
limit in terms of testing/run time and also dependencies. To further develop
the package we started to break the package into smaller packages namely
Two core packages (dartR.base and dartR.data) and here dartR.base has
dartR.data in the depends. (dartR.base is 60% of the previous package) and
dartR.data is our data.package for test data (dartR.data is already on CRAN)
Next to the two core packages we also have 3 more addon packages that deal with
specialised analysis
dartR.sim
dartR.spatial
dartR.popgenomics.
Those packages depend on dartR.base and dartR.data.
All addon packages and core packages should have the other addon packages as
suggests, hence here comes the question.
How do I submit the packages? All of them at once? Or step by step.
If I submit step by step (e.g. dartR.base) it obviously cannot have the other
dartR addon packages as suggests (cannot be tested and will break the CRAN
tests).
So would be the correct way to:
Submit dartR.base (without dartR.sim, dartR.spatial and dartR.popgenomics in
the suggest.)
Then submit dartR.sim, then dartR.spatial and finally dartR.popgenomics (all
without suggests of the other packages)
And finally update all packages (only their description file and add the
suggests once they are on CRAN).
Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance,
Bernd
