Circular dependency on tinytex?

MichaelChirico opened this issue · 1 comments

Current xfun Suggests tinytex

But also tinytex Imports xfun.

It's a "soft circle" since the Suggests is a "dotted line" dependency, but still, is this correct?

I guess that's fine. It shouldn't prevent you from installing or using either package. I just tested it in a clean R environment, and install.packages("xfun", dependencies = TRUE) worked fine.
