Hi,
By default, the build system installs CRAN dependencies on the Mac and Windows
builders with 'type=both':
install.packages("mypackage", type="both")
This means it first tries to install the binary and if that fails, it tries to
install from source. Packages without native code or SystemRequirements usually
install fine from source. This is the case for DiagrammeR which can be
installed on the build machines. rsvg is in the Suggests field of DiagrammeR so
rsvg is not needed to install or load the package.
The rsvg package is different in that it has 'librsvg2' as a SystemRequirement
which is not installed on the Mac (or Windows) build machine:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rsvg/index.html
We do install all SystemRequirements for Bioconductor packages on the Mac and
Windows builders but not for CRAN packages. Installing all third party
requirements of CRAN dependencies would add significantly to the build system
maintenance and really only serves a purpose in this window of time where
binaries are not available for devel.
cc'ing Herve in case he has more to add.

Valerie,
I'm not sure I understand. I looked at another package that is currently
installed on the mac devel machine, DiagrammeR
(https://cran.r-project.org/package=DiagrammeR), and it has the same set of
links on the CRAN site as rsvg does. In particular, it does not show a r-devel
version for El Capitan.
Also, rsvg is not installed on the release mac build machine either, which
it should have a version for.

Hi Kevin,
CRAN binaries for El Capitan in devel aren't available. You can see this on the
rsvg landing page:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rsvg/index.html
Nothing we can do until CRAN makes them available.

The ChemmineR build is failing on the mac due to a new dependency not
being available, the package "rsvg". Would it be possible to install
that on the mac build machine? Thanks.
