Hello all, I'm running into some problems submitting my first
bioconductor
package. Hope someone can help.

I've got the package building and checking successfully on three of
the
four build servers, and a strange error on the last. The OSX *oaxaca*
host
reports a warning during CHECK. Reviewing the log has this apparent
error:


* checking loading without being on the library search path ...
WARNING

Loading required package: DESeq

Loading required package: BiocGenerics

Loading required package: lattice

Error : Function found when exporting methods from the namespace
IRanges
which is not S4 generic: unsplit

Error: package DESeq could not be loaded

Execution halted

It looks like this package has a loading problem when not on
.libPaths:

see the messages for details.

* checking dependencies in R code ... OK

Later in the log it says

* checking examples ... [259s/264s] OK

Which tells me it must have loaded all required packages. Later,
oaxaca's
BUILD bin successfully installs the package, which is more confusing.
I
don't have an unsplit() and I don't use IRanges directly, those are
imported from BiocGenerics.

The full build report is here:
http://bioconductor.org/spb_reports/rgsepd_0.99.3_buildreport_20140930152650.html#oaxaca_check_anchor

Sorry I have to lean on the mailing list for support, but when it
builds
and checks successfully on 3/4 hosts, I'm stumped!

Thanks again.

Hi there,

I have had this issue as well when submitting my package. In my
case it
turned out that the Windows build apparently can't handle
bibtex/biblatex
very well. Looks like your build also stops at bibtex. If you have
just a
few references, you might just put them in the old-fashioned way
(i.e. by
hand).

Kind regards,
Sander Bollen.

I'm trying to put together a new package submission, "rgsepd", and
I've
ran
into an error I can't figure out. Hoping to talk with someone with
more
experience on the bioconductor build system.

The build report is here

http://bioconductor.org/spb_reports/rgsepd_0.99.2_buildreport_20140929213816.html#moscato1_buildsrc_anchor

The package has built fine on OSX and Linux, but is now crashing
trying to
construct the Vignette on Windows. I don't see any error message
reported,
just that the vignette failed. So I don't know how to debug it
anymore.
Earlier versions had reported various file-not-found errors, so I
could
track them down and fix them, it was file case-sensitivity or
forward-slash
vs backslash on various imported files.  On the latest revision
0.99.2,
the
moscato1 BUILD failed, but it was working in 0.99.1. I'm kind of
at a
loss,
does moscato1 not like knitr ?
The content of the error log only says it didn't make the file, as
far as
I
can tell:

* installing the package to build vignettes

Is there any way to get more information for debugging?

Thanks for your help.
