Unused project dependencies resulting in long compilation time #78

Closed sdewaele closed 4 years ago

sdewaele commented 4 years ago

There are some dependencies in CmdStan that may not be needed, e.g. StatsPlots and Documenter, there may be more. If this is correct, it would be great if they could be removed as dependencies to reduce download and compilation time for the package. Both are pretty 'heavy' dependencies.

In case e.g. StatsPlots is needed only for testing, it can be added as a separate testing dependency. Although probably it is also not required for testing.

For now I will close the issue. CmdStan.jl v6 has removed many used and unused dependencies.
