Hello, R-devel,
I am planning to submit two packages, A and B, to CRAN. Package B uses
an API exported by package A, while package A uses package B to test the
API in question. Thus, package B Depends on, and Enhances, A, and A
Suggests B.
Could I get some guidance on submitting them to CRAN? A cannot be
checked without B, but B cannot be installed without A.
The CRAN people will probably have a better solution to offer but the
following 3-step procedure should work, at least in theory:
- First submit a degraded version of A i.e. a version that doesn't
suggest B and where all the tests using B are turned off.
- Then submit B.
- Then submit the full version of A with a higher version.
Or, merge A and B in a single package...
... or ask the CRAN people directly. They will tell you to go ahead,
submit A and mention in the submission mail that the Suggested B which
Depends on A will be uploaded once A has been accepted.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
Cheers,
H.
Thanks in advance,
Pavel Krivitsky
