[Bioc-devel] package RBGL requires CRAN dependency on devel branch

Dear Bioconductor,

The devel version of package RBGL is flunking build.

This package has been modified to include header files in the CRAN 
package 'BH' instead of using a local tarball of the header files. We 
consider this an improvement because the 'BH' maintainers update their 
package every time a new version of boost is released, but rebuilding 
the included tarball is unreliable.

Is it possible to request inclusion of a CRAN package dependency in a 
Bioconductor package? If not, how would Bioconductor recommend we handle 
this?

(Full disclosure: the BH package has all the header files for all of 
boost. This is a lot more disk space then we need, because we only need 
the BGL.)

thanks,

- Sam
