[Bioc-devel] How critical is package style for bioconductor?

As long as it?s consistent, you can use another style. Consistency helps
reviewers read the code easily.

Most people generally use ?camelCase" or ?snake_case" for variable names
and function names.  But keep in mind that class names need to be
?CamelCase" as that is the R style of doing things.

You should follow the other set of rules as given (such as Indentation,
File names, Class names, use of space, comments, Namespaces, end user
messages, Misc section)

Hi all,

I'm developing a package that to submit to Bioconductor and I've noticed
that the style guide suggests camelCasealternatingWords which I find hard
to read and is different from other style guides and automated
style-checking I've seen (lintr, Hadley Wickam).

Is this an optional requirement that can be done with another consistent
style, or if not are there packages that enforce this style guide in an
automated fashion? I tried BiocCheck and it said nothing about the naming
conventions.

Thanks!
