Suggested installation command requires R.rsp

[alexploner]

Totally minor detail: running the proposed installation command from the README

remotes::install_github("boennecd/VAJointSurv", build_vignettes = TRUE)

assumes that R.rsp is installed, but it's only listed as suggested in the DESCRIPTION file, so it fails e.g. if you work from a fresh R install.

Literally the least of my problems - thanks for a great package!

Hi @alexploner (and cc @boennecd),

This can be solved by adding the dependencies = TRUE argument to install_github():

remotes::install_github("boennecd/VAJointSurv", build_vignettes = TRUE, dependencies = TRUE)

This was tested on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04.01 VM with R 4.2.1, and the cost of this was the installation of these additional (23) packages: R.utils, R.oo, R.methodsS3, xfun, stringi, yaml, stringr, highr, fastmap, base64enc, htmltools, rappdirs, memoise, cachem, jquerylib, sass, R.cache, tinytex, knitr, bslib, R.rsp, xml2, rmarkdown.

@boennecd, if you think adding this is okay I can make a quick PR!
My understanding is that this is some sort of worst-case scenario in terms of dependencies, as, according to the documentation of install_github():

Can be a character vector (selecting from "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", or "Enhances"), or a logical vector.
TRUE is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo" and "Suggests".
NA is shorthand for "Depends", "Imports" and "LinkingTo" and is the default.
FALSE is shorthand for no dependencies (i.e. just check this package, not its dependen-
cies).
The value "soft" means the same as TRUE, "hard" means the same as NA.
