Re: git: 850ef4f5a5e2 - main - math/R-cran-metafor: New port: Meta-analysis package for R

Hi Christos,

Thank you for your work.

I think two things can be improved (don't have to make them immediately, 
maybe in next update to the port).

1. I see that both BUILD and RUN depends are same, in this case, you can 
use BUILD_RUN_DEPENDS that is recently added to the framework.

2. As jrm@ asked as optional, you could have added test dependencies and 
see if it passes, if possible.
