[Bioc-devel] NAMESPACE question

Probably in your code you do not actually want to require() ad hoc packages

This last paragraph should probably be explained in the Bioc coding standards if
it is not already.
Thanks for the prompt, it's now mentioned on the coding style and package guidelines. http://bioconductor.org/developers/package-guidelines/#dependencies http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/coding-style/ Martin
