`system_requirements` doesn't support debian, contra documentation #759

Closed eliocamp closed 11 months ago

eliocamp commented 1 year ago

remotes::system_requirements(os = "debian") returns error: 

Error in match.arg(os, names(os_versions)) : 
  'arg' should be one of “ubuntu”, “centos”, “redhat”, “opensuse”, “sle”

However, its documentation states "see https://github.com/rstudio/r-system-requirements#operating-systems for the list of supported operating systems", which currently lists Debian 10, 11 and unstable as supported.

From this code:

https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/blob/e199c1bdda3858600bbef8e4bbc3f5868b899587/R/system_requirements.R#L99-L111

I guess that Debian is not actually supported by r-system-requirements?

It seems like a mismatch between documentation and code. Although I don't know if this is an issue for remotes or for the r-system-requirements repo.

They are not supported by the remotes package.

A PR is welcome to fix this, or I suggest you try the pak package instead of remotes.
