1. Can CRAN packages depend on Bioconductor packages and still pass R CMD check? That is can Suggests: and Depends: in the DESCRIPTION file contain Bioconductor packages or only other CRAN packages? Is there an example?
2. If a package depends on a Bioconductor package does one just list the package its dependent on or also all packages that that package recursively depends on? Is this the same as for CRAN packages that a package is dependent on? 3. Suppose that the output of package A is typically processed by package B. Thus strictly speaking no function in A depends on any function in B; however, the output of A is not very usable without post processing it by B. Would one list A as being dependent on B anyways? 4. Are there any considerations in the above cases related to CRAN Task Views (ctv package)? http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Views/ 5. Are the above discussed anywhere? I looked up the Depends and Suggests field in 1.1 of the R Extensions manual but none of the above is addressed there.
