R package with whisker as dependency fails CRAN checks on r-devel-windows

[Quentin Read]

I wanted to bring this to your attention. We recently submitted a new release of a package, rslurm, to CRAN that has a strong dependency of whisker (>=0.3) (in the Imports field of the DESCRIPTION file). Unfortunately our package fails CRAN checks for the experimental r-devel build on Windows (r-devel-windows-x86_64-gcc10-UCRT). It looks like this is because whisker depends on markdown which isn't available on that version of R: https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-windows-x86_64-gcc10-UCRT/whisker-00check.html

Anyway, we really appreciate the work you put into this package and it would be great if we could get this resolved so that we can continue depending on whisker in the future. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Looks like you fixed it! At any rate, the dependency error is gone now. Thanks!
