AFAIK, no, though if the upstream package cannot (or won't) be implemented without that system requirement and it really is a requirement for this package then you might want to indicate "libzzz via Package X" just to be clear for users. If it isn't a requirement for most of your functionality t

  foghorn::cran_incoming() will let you inspect the package queue.   (most likely if the package has been sitting this long it's not ever going to move farther through the queue and you should resubmit.  An e-mail to the CRAN maintainers after you check the status would probably be appropriate

I submitted the Package AQLSchemes on Dec 9, 2019. I corrected the errors noted in the manual inspection and resubmitted it on Jan 9. I got the message that it passed the automatic checks and was awaiting manual inspection. I have not heard anything since. Do I need to resubmitt the package? Or ho

You're right, that's enough to not dig any further. I remembered it from the earlier days of devtools, but they removed that dependency ages ago. I also believe now the namespace package predates the later changes to the namespace mechanism. Forget what I said, I should have spent a bit more tim

Hi Stefan, you need the function makeNamespace() to create the environment as a namespace. Look at the examples in the help files, I found them rather instructive. I also hope someone else chimes in to shed some light on whether or not that approach would be acceptable. Joris Meys Statistici

Hi! Thanks for pointing to the package "namespace". I experimented with it but I couldn't really figure out how it is supposed to work: The following code leads to strange errors that I don't understand: > nse <- list2env(list(data="x", asdf = 2)) > namespace::registerNamespace(name = "NewNam

Hi Stefan, first of all, thank you for taking the time and effort to link Julia and R. That said, I would strongly encourage you to go for a reticulate-like approach. There's a good reason for that. Once you start mixing languages, you really want to have some indication what code is ran in wha

It is important for me to get my package into CRAN. I haven't gotten any answer from the CRAN maintainers. I already tried to submit a version of the package before some months and haven't gotten any reply then. The replies you gave me (thanks to all engaged in the discussion) were mixed. I still

Dear Dominik, IMHO you only need to list "first order" dependencies: things that your package directly uses. Listing higher order dependencies would be redundant as they are listed in the packages that have them as first order dependency. Best regards, ir. Thierry Onkelinx Statisticus / Statisti

Hi all, should “SystemRequirements” of an imported package be listed in the description file of a package? General scenario: - Package X imports Package Y. - Package Y lists “libzzz” as SystemRequirements. Should Package X list the SystemRequirements “libzzz” as well? (question occurred @ http
