Description
If I have package A that depends on package B, which depends on package C; and B & C are in the listed Additional_repositories
drat repository, it seems devtools::install()
fails to find package C when trying to install B (and thus fails to install A & B). A simple install.packages("A", repo="my.drat.repo")
works fine.
For a concrete example:
install.packages("RNeXML", dep=TRUE, repos=c("https://cran.rstudio.com", "http://packages.ropensci.org"))
Works just fine. But
devtools::install_github("ropensci/RNeXML", deps=TRUE)
fails by failing to install the suggested dependency rrdf
because rrdflibs
is "not available", even though both are on the drat repo.
