Hi Martin,

thanks for your reply.

That's what I thought (hoped), but I wanted to be sure before submitting.

If the requirements are *only* in these packages, and not
(directly) in your package's functions,
you should *not* duplicate the checks (nor the entries in
DESCRIPTION),

by the same logic that you should not list 'Depends', 'Imports',
'Suggests', etc of those packages.

[R-pkg-devel] Question about configure file and system requirements

[Lorenzo Busetto]

Dear all,

a  quick question:

while preparing for a CRAN submission, am I supposed to include  a
"configure" file and list for system requirements also if those system
requirements "come from" the packages that I import ?

Asking this because the "configure" and system requirements are already
present in the imported packages, so my configuration check would duplicate
what is already done while installing the dependencies.

sorry if this is dumb...

Lorenzo
