[Bioc-devel] Installation Error on nebbiolo2 Due to CVXR Dependency

[Huang Lin (Frederick)]

Hi Vincent,

Thanks so much for the explanation; that was very helpful.

Since this appears to be more of a system issue, do you anticipate adding
rustc support on nebbiolo1 in the future? Alternatively, would moving the
CVXR dependency from Imports to Suggests help in this case?

Best,
