Do I add patrick to the Remotes field inside DESCRIPTION?

[howardbaek]

In the README, you suggest adding patrick to Suggests and Remotes within a package's DESCRIPTION. However, in the code chunk, you only add it to Suggests.

I'm a bit confused as to why patrick should be added to Remotes. According to the R packages book, the Remotes field can be used when you need to install a dependency from a nonstandard place, i.e. from somewhere besides CRAN or Bioconductor.

patrick seems to be in a standard place, i.e. CRAN

Hi Howard!

Sorry about that.

I missed something when doing this:

You don't need to use patrick in Remotes. Adding it to Suggests is sufficient.

Best wishes,
Michael
