[Bioc-devel] Logolas package broken for R (3.4) users

Kasper is right, you can only update code in the current release (Bioc  3.7) or devel (Bioc 3.8). Sorry I didn't read your question carefully enough. You could, however, use the AMI suggested below to attempt to reproduce the reported error.

This is the last build report for Bioc 3.6 and Logolas is not broken:

  https://www.bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.6/bioc-20180412/

If you can reproduce the error (with the AMI) you probably did not have a comprehensive set of tests which is why the build report is green. If you can't reproduce the error, the people reporting problems may be using mismatched R/Bioconductor package versions. The output of their sessionInfo() should be informative.

I think the "correct" answer to this, is that it is impossible. Old releases are locked.

The way to discover such things is to have appropriate test functions which will signal an error if things break.

Best,
Kasper

You could use an AMI with R 3.4 installed. See the 'AMI IDs' section:

Hi,

I just found based on user reports that the old version of my package
Logolas for R 3.4 and Bioc 3.6 is broken. It does install fine but the main
function does not run. Everything seems to be fine however for R 3.5 and
Bioc 3.7. I would like to produce either an error message if someone < R
3.5 tries to install Logolas, or to mend the old version. Can you please
let me know what is the procedure for either of these cases?

Thanks so much.
