Hi, I am trying to submit a version of a package whose dev version is on github: https://github.com/jchiquet/PLNmodels
My package requires a system version of nlopt (that can be installed on Debian via apt-get install libnlopt-dev, and similarly on other systems). And I'd rather not use the nloptr package since the version available on CRAN does not link to the CCSAQ optimization method which I need. Besides, I like to directly include the nlopt.hpp header in the C++ code of my package. I manage to get everything working with travis CI for Linux and Mac OS (by specifying the field apt and brew_packages), and now I would like to submit my package to the CRAN. However, the install process failed on the pretest step on Debian, since it lakes a system version of nlopt (that would be availble via sudo apt-get install libnlopt-dev). I though specifying the field SystemRequirements in the package DESCRIPTION file would allow me to submit properly on CRAN, but apparently the automatic install process does not recognize this field. I will be happy to try to fix the problem if someone point me in the right direction. I know that some packages on CRAN requires system libraries such as https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/V8/index.html and I tried my best to follow the same steps, without success apparently.
