10 months ago The easiest way is adding a copy of polars to your universe by adding it to your packages.json. This way the binaries are automatically used when building tidypolars.

Hi there!
One of my packages (tidypolars https://etiennebacher.r-universe.dev/tidypolars#) has some build failures because I don't know how to specify the repos it should look into when downloading dependencies.
Basically, here's what happens:
- tidypolars depends on polars, which is not on CRAN
- polars has binaries available on R-universe. These binaries have different paths depending on the OS:
- https://rpolars.r-universe.dev for Windows and macOS
- https://rpolars.r-universe.dev/bin/linux/jammy/4.3 for Ubuntu
- in tidypolars DESCRIPTION file, I don't put polars in the Remotes field because Github Actions would try to build from source while there are binaries available, so I simply specify the link above as an additional repo in install.packages() (related lines in my workflow https://github.com/etiennebacher/tidypolars/blob/44dc19d2f48a7f6e561e5ac606f6eaa0a296d170/.github/workflows/check.yml#L39-L47 )
Problem: since polars is not in the Remotes field, the R-universe workflow tries to find it on CRAN and obviously fails https://github.com/r-universe/etiennebacher/actions/runs/5865468592/job/15902455283 .
I think the easiest way to fix the builds for tidypolars on R-universe would be to enable https://rpolars.r-universe.dev (or its Ubuntu variant) when it is looking for dependencies. Is it possible to do so?
I guess that putting polars in Remotes would work as well but it would drastically increase the build time both on my workflows and R-universe workflows since it would need to compile polars from scratch.
Thank you!
