+# The unittests for `r-sfheaders` have multiple circular
+# dependency chains.
+
+# As such, the tests can not be run on first build.
+# While R packages from CRAN, generally, are well-tested
+# before they are released, in some situations, you want to
+# have thorough testing on your own end.
+
+# To run the tests, first build this package without `check()`
+# (i.e., as-is) to bootstrap `r-sfheaders`. Then, on subsequent builds,
+# (assumining you have a local repository that is accessible from
+# the build chroot), uncomment the lines defining `checkdepends`, below,
+# as well as the `check()` function further down
