I have a scenario where I have an exported function that requires the installation a package that *is not* available on CRAN. The body of the function is generally:fx <- function() { rlang::check_installed("noncranpkg") noncranpkg::gx() } As required, this package is in the Suggests field. But this results in a note: checking package dependencies ... NOTE Package suggested but not available for checking: ‘noncranpkg’ Can this be safely ignored?
Uwe said yes, and he's an authority. But for your users, it might be nice to include an Additional_repositories field so they can find the package. This needs to be organized as an actual repository; the drat package is a very convenient way to set one up.
