Hey Everyone,
I have an R-package that wraps some Java code.
The dependencies needed are around 10MB.
Thus I split the package into 2 packages. One providing only the
dependencies:
https://github.com/petermeissner/kafkaesquejars
... and one providing the actual code:
https://github.com/petermeissner/kafkaesque
I submitted the first package to CRAN and it came back stating that:
"Package has FOSS license, installs .class/.jar but has no 'java' directory.
"
Of course there is no java directory because the package does not contain
any code, just dependencies
and those are placed in ./inst/java.
Now what to do? In response I added ./java/sources.md file and listed all
dependencies as well as URLs where
the source code of those dependencies can be downloaded.
Is this correct? Do I miss something else?
I really would appreciate some guidance on doing this right.
Best, Peter
