[Bioc-devel] unix package in suggest leads to check error

[Alexey Sergushichev]

Hi,

Our package "phantasus" requires the "unix" package to properly work on
*nix systems, but works well without it on Windows and Mac OS (actually we
depend on the opencpu package, which requires it). I've tried to put this
package into suggest field, but now the package failed Bioc checks on
Windows and Mac (
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/phantasus/palomino3-checksrc.html)
with the following message:

```
* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package suggested but not available: 'unix'

The suggested packages are required for a complete check.
Checking can be attempted without them by setting the environment
variable _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_ to a false value.
```

Is there any way to keep this package in suggestions and not to fail the
checks? Or are there any other recommendations for this case?

Best,
Alexey
