[Bioc-devel] Should GenomicFeatures really depend pn RMySQL ? Is it time to migrate to RMariaDB ?

It is important but not completely clear how to address.

I think it has been written that bioc package checking should make minimal
use of the internet, and most
checking concerning manipulation of net-derived objects should use "mocks".

One possible approach is to test with calls to the external service that
are minimally sufficient to assess
whether key expectations are met.  If not, fail or warn with detailed
indication.  All other tests are devised to
use stored objects that represent service products.   These products are
presumed valid on the basis
of the tests of expectations.
