[R-pkg-devel] circular suggested packages

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear all,

The qrcode package converts text into a qrcode image. The opencv package is
able to convert images with a qrcode into the text. opencv has a unit test
that uses qrcode to generate a test image. Hence it lists qrcode as a
suggested package.

Would it be OK to implement the same unit test in qrcode? And thus
requiring qrcode to list opencv as a suggested package. I know this is not
allowed when depending or importing packages.

Best regards,
