Remotes are not resolved if a package and its repo have different names

[heavywatal]

I have igraphlite package hosted at github::heavywatal/rigraphlite, and a dependent package with the following DESCRIPTION:

Imports:
    igraphlite
Remotes:
    github::heavywatal/rigraphlite

pak::pkg_deps(".") cannot resolve this and emits an error:

Error: Cannot install packages:                                            
* local::.: Can't install dependency igraphlite
* igraphlite: Can't find package called igraphlite.

while remotes::install_deps() can.

igraphlite=github::heavywatal/rigraphlite format suggested in #2 seems to work with pak::pkg_deps("."), but it emits Error: Unknown remote type with remotes::install_deps().

How can I satisfy both r-lib/actions and devtools system?

There is no way currently I am afraid, except for renaming your repository.

You can use pak::local_install_deps() instead of remotes::install_deps().

We could add support for the igraphlite=github::heavywatal/rigraphlite format in remotes, can you please open an issue there?

Thank you for the quick reply. I have just opened an issue at r-lib/remotes.

I'll close this issue, because we'll not change pkgdepends.
