[R-pkg-devel] Suggesting an archived package in the DESCRIPTION file

[Uwe Ligges]

Suggested packages should be used conditionally. If available, use it, 
otherwise the code should fail gracefully.

Best,

In the DESCRIPTION file of the new version 0.93 of the ‘survivalSL' package, I've moved ‘survivalmodels' from "Depends" to the ‘Suggests'. I thought this would solve the problem. Indeed, the 'survivalSL’ package can function without the ‘survivalmodels’ package if the user does not include the related learner (survival neural network) in the learning ensemble. Nevertheless, the new version 0.93 was archived again.
