Thanks for the quick reply! I was a bit uncertain about this due to the CRAN check notes from this package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_BiocManager.html
That made me think that the reason why the packages which are not available for testing are hosted on Bioconductor.

BioC is a standard repository that you do not need to delcare.
