[Bioc-devel] modify _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_ ?

[Martin Morgan]

You can create a plain text file in the root directory of your package 
.BBSoptions with the line

   UnsupportedPlatform: win

Your package will not be available on Windows, losing about 1/2 your 
potential audience. A better strategy is to figure out why you are 
Suggests:'ing Rsubread, and find alternative cross-platform solutions.

I would not hesitate to add your voice to mine in asking the Rsubread 
maintainer to make their package cross-platform compatible. While this 
requires considerable work, it would benefit the Bioconductor community 
in this and subsequent years.
