Nic Crane updated ARROW-12743:
------------------------------
Component/s: R
> [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
> Components: R
> Reporter: Nic Crane
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
