Hi, My package pliman depends on EBImage which is in Bioconductor. I have created a function check_ebi() < https://github.com/TiagoOlivoto/pliman/blob/e6efc4b6a2396600939e308c235aeb9ab47af375/R/utilities.R#L534> that is called in .onAttach() < https://github.com/TiagoOlivoto/pliman/blob/master/R/zzz.R#L36> and checks if EBImage is installed. If not, the function asks the user to install it.
If some other package loads but doesn't attach pliman, and is missing EBImage, does it fail gracefully? That's also important. I'd test what happens if a user runs pliman::object_edge( ... ) . (That function isn't in the CRAN version, just the Github version, so I haven't tried this.)

Both EBImage and BiocManager are listed as suggests < https://github.com/TiagoOlivoto/pliman/blob/master/DESCRIPTION#L22> I believe that this could be a possible solution Best regards, Olivoto Em qui., 16 de mar. de 2023 às 11:18, Ruff, Sergej < sergej.r...@tiho-hannover.de> escreveu:I am currently building a package which uses the "limma"-package as a dependency. I want to submit my package to CRAN. Do I need to declare Bioconductor-dependencies such as Limma differently in the Description-File of my Package? The Check-Function in R shows no Notes, Warnings or Errors, but I am not sure if that means that limma will install when installing my package from CRAN. Currently I am declaring limma like this: Suggests: limma Can CRAN identify that limma is a Bioconductor-Package and will it Limma install, when installing my package from CRAN?
