Nic Crane created ARROW-12743:
---------------------------------
Summary: [R] Add additional DESCRIPTION fields for dev
dependencies and update docs accordingly
Key: ARROW-12743
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12743
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nic Crane
Recent updates to the remotes package mean that additional fields can be added
to a package's DESCRIPTION and remotes functions can take the field as a
parameter and install these additional dependencies:
https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/blob/master/NEWS.md#new-functions-and-features
We could update DESCRIPTION to use these fields and update the docs to use this
functionality of remotes instead of having separate references to packages to
install.
