Hi,

I am trying to submit a package to Bioconductor with a Suggests dependency
to RcppOctave, which is not available on Windows or Mac, and available on
Linux only if octave is installed (RcppOctave is mine as well but getting
working on other platforms than Linux is not yet on the agenda). All builds
go fine but checks are not performed due to this missing dependency. This
can be solved using _R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_ = false, which is what is used
on CRAN, at least for Windows and Mac.

Is there a recommended way around this?
I know I could "hide" the dependency using require('RcppOctave',
character.only = TRUE), but I am wondering if there is a
Bioconducotr-chekc-specific solution to still keep the dependency listed in
the DESCRIPTION file.

Thank you.

Bests,
Renaud
