Jonathan Keane commented on ARROW-12743:
----------------------------------------
And, additionally, didn't you find that {{remotes::install_deps(".",
dependencies = "soft")}} installs not just imports+depends+suggests, but does
that recursively for all packages it touches, so ends up installing many more
packages than {{remotes::install_deps(".", dependencies = TRUE)} right?
> [R] Add additional DESCRIPTION fields for dev dependencies and update docs
> accordingly

> 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.
