I recently submit a package called QuasiSeq. The package source and
Windows binary worked fine, but the MacOS X binary failed. The bottom of
the CRAN page for QuasiSeq shows
Downloads:
Package source: QuasiSeq_1.0-1.tar.gz
MacOS X binary: not available, see check log.
Windows binary: QuasiSeq-1.0-1.zip
Reference manual: QuasiSeq.pdf
The log for the MacOS X binary shows
- using R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30)
- using platform: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 (32-bit)
- using session charset: ASCII
- checking for file 'QuasiSeq/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
- this is package 'QuasiSeq' version '1.0-1'
- checking package namespace information ... OK
- checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package required but not available: 'edgeR'
See the information on DESCRIPTION files in the chapter
'Creating R
packages' of the 'Writing R Extensions' manual.
- elapsed time (check, wall clock): 0:01
Is there a simple remedy to the problems caused by the dependency on edgeR,
or would you advise that I put a work-around into my source code using
'require' so I can list edgeR under Suggests instead of Depends or Includes?
Thank you for your time!
