[R-pkg-devel] Suggests with non-CRAN packages

[Josiah Parry]

I have a scenario where I have an exported function that requires the
installation a package that *is not* available on CRAN. The body of the
function is generally:

fx <- function() {
  rlang::check_installed("noncranpkg")
  noncranpkg::gx()
}

As required, this package is in the Suggests field. But this results in a
note:

checking package dependencies ... NOTE
Package suggested but not available for checking: ‘noncranpkg’

Can this be safely ignored?
