[R-pkg-devel] Package suggested but not available for checking: 'rPeaks'; Additional_repositories

[Tan Zhou]

Thank you very much for your suggestions and explanation, Ralf. They are
very helpful.
I got permission from the author and use *drat::addRepo("jrminter").*

*When I try to test if this package can be installed with install.package*

*install.packages("rPeaks", repos = "https://jrminter.github.io/drat/
<https://jrminter.github.io/drat/>", type = "source")Warning in
install.packages :  unable to access index for repository

*Do you have any suggestion? *
