Dear Mick,
knitr doesn't depends on rmarkdown. It's the vignette that depends on
both knitr (for handle the R chunks) and rmarkdown (for the output
format rmarkdown::html_vignette).
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Package-Dependencies
states: "The ‘Suggests’ field ...snip... lists packages that are not
necessarily needed. This includes packages used only in examples,
tests or vignettes ...snip... Then it is not necessary to have bar
use foo unless one wants to execute all the examples/tests/vignettes"
So packages in Suggests might be required to compile vignettes.
Ok, I get it now, and a more careful reading of the Writing Extensions
manual would have helped prevent the surprise. Anyway, FastR can't
handle knitr yet so I am backing off to testing types=c("examples, "tests").
Thanks
Mick
