I?m trying to get my empirical Bayes package, REBayes, back in compliance with CRAN. However, I?m not sure what to do about the following from R CMD check ?as-cran on the current R-devel: Strong dependencies not in mainstream repositories: pogs * checking package namespace information ... OK * checking package dependencies ... ERROR Packages required but not available: 'Rmosek' 'reliaR' ?pogs' pogs is available here: http://foges.github.io/pogs/ref/admm Rmosek seems to be back on CRAN but perhaps not happily on osx reliaR seems to be on CRAN All three of these packages appear on the imports line of my DESCRIPTION file. Could someone clue me in on what to do?

I misunderstood this message, and now realize that it was attributable to the (obvious) fact that these extra packages were not installed on MY machine since I'd just upgraded to R-devel. The pogs package still produces a NOTE, but hopefully that is not a deal breaker for CRAN. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Packages-required-but-not-available-tp4711662p4711685.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Note this bullet in the CRAN policies: Packages on which a CRAN package depends should be available from a mainstream repository: if any mentioned in ?Suggests? or ?Enhances? fields are not from such a repository, where to obtain them at a repository should be specified in an ?Additional_repositories? field of the DESCRIPTION file (as a comma-separated list of repository URLs) or for other means of access, described in the ?Description? field. A number of people have had success using Dirk's drat package to make such additional repositories.
