'Additional_repositories' is meant for R package repositories, it won't work
with source code git repos. if a package is in 'Suggests' and can't be found
on CRAN or BioC, the additional repos given here are searched for it, but only
for it's availability. it won't be installed, CRAN only checks whether it
*could* be installed.
instead of throwing an error, i would probably fallback to a meaningful
default at the beginning of the function code and warn the user about it:
if(pkg == "loon" && !requireNamespace("loon", quietly = TRUE)) {
pkg == ""
warning(paste(
"Package 'loon' is unavailable, falling back to the default:", pkg
))
} else {}
i'm dealing with a similar problem at the moment, the main diffenrence being
that i brought it onto myself by outsourcing specific parts (support for
several natural languages) of one huge package into several add-on packages,
and these add-on packages were rejected from CRAN so i can't make any of them
a dependecy. meaning they're not even archived :-D

[R-pkg-devel] stages of package loading
hi, i'm currently trying to figure out whether it is possible to tell a dependency that it was loaded as a dependency and by which package. the use case is this: - packages A and B both depend on package X - package X can be loaded independently, but checks if A or B are available - when both are missing, X should throw a message - when A or B are already loaded, X should load quietly now i want to load A and B without X falsely informing me that they are missing. i.e., it should be clear to X that A is available and currently being loaded when X itself is loaded as the dependency of A. it seems .onLoad() is not the right place for X to search for A or B, because it always throws the message when the first of both packages is being loaded. any suggestions? viele grüße :: m.eik -- dipl. psych. meik michalke abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at geb"aude 23.03.00.26| tel +49 (0)211 8113498 40204 d"usseldorf | fax +49 (0)211 8111753 http://www.psycho.hhu.dehttps://reaktanz.de https://rkward.kde.org https://twitter.com/RKWardNet signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. __ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel

maybe you missed the part where the OP tried to use
https://github.com/waddella/loon in 'Additional_repositories'? AFAIK you can't
use a simple git source code repository of a package.
i'm maintaining various alternative repos myself ( https://reaktanz.de/R/ ;
https://files.kde.org/rkward/R/ ; https://undocumeantit.github.io/repos/l10n/
) using roxyPackage instead of drat.

do you mean that a dependency is automatically fetched and installed from an
*alternative* repo configured via 'Additional_repositories'? i didn't get that
to work. i only ever managed CRAN to see that the package is there during
checks, but not install it.
take the 'sylly' package:
https://cran.r-project.org/package=sylly
it has
Additional_repositories: https://undocumeantit.github.io/repos/l10n
in its DESCRIPTION and suggests 'sylly.de', 'sylly.en', and 'sylly.es'. but
when i run
install.packages("sylly", dependencies=TRUE)
i get:
Warning: dependencies ‘testthat’, ‘sylly.de’, ‘sylly.en’, ‘sylly.es’ are not
available
am i missing something?
