Hi Hervé, Thank you for your comment and for looking into our package – it would definitely make sense to try and not depend on clusterProfiler if it is that heavy of a dependency (and we don’t use it so much as you mention), more in general working in the direction of removing little-used or heavy dependencies would speed things up all around and reduce the chance of having failures because of changes/failures of dep. packages. We will try and reassess the package imports in this direction.
It would be great if we could obtain e.g. a dependency graph – or at least know how many (unique) dependencies each of our deps has, e.g. I saw that miniCRAN can do something similar Best, Matteo Tiberti Danish Cancer Institute Strandboulevarden 49 DK-2100 Copenhagen Telephone: +45 35 25 73 07 – a part of the Danish Cancer Society [cid:image001.png@01D9FCEF.49F0A030]<https://www.cancer.dk/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=medarbejderemail&utm_campaign=medarbejderemail&utm_content=cancerdk> www.cancer.dk<https://www.cancer.dk/international/> | Our privacy policy<https://www.cancer.dk/om-os/privatlivspolitik/> From: Hervé Pagès <hpages.on.git...@gmail.com> Date: Wednesday, 11 October 2023 at 19.30 To: Matteo Tiberti <tibe...@cancer.dk>, bioc-devel@r-project.org <bioc-devel@r-project.org> Subject: Re: [Bioc-devel] arm64 on Mac build fails due to problem with MPO.db Hi Matteo, Thanks for letting us know. FWIW the dependency on MPO.db is via clusterProfiler and DOSE. Not directly addressing the issue but note that clusterProfiler is a heavy-weight dependency that triggers the loading of 120+ packages. All together, loading Moonlight2R with library(Moonlight2R) triggers the loading of 170+ packages which takes about 20 seconds. Have you considered trying to make Moonlight2R dependencies lighter? For example it seems that the only thing that the package uses from clusterProfiler is clusterProfiler::bitr(), which is a simple convenience wrapper around AnnotationDbi::select() used inside your GSEA() function. I wonder if some of these deps could perhaps be moved from Imports to Suggests, with the hope to make library(Moonlight2R) lighter and faster. Best, H.
