[Bioc-devel] AnnotationDbi::loadDb() now requires dbType and dbPackage?

Hi,

I think that the docs for ?loadDb (AnnotationDbi) need to be updated
as described below.


According to ?loadDb in AnnotationDbi 1.27.19

"
dbType
dbType - not required

dbPackage
dbPackage - not required
"

However, R CMD check for derfinder 0.99.5 and R CMD build for
GenomicFeatures 1.17.21 are failing due to dbType not being specified.

See http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/derfinder/oaxaca-checksrc.html
and  http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/GenomicFeatures/zin1-buildsrc.html
So I guess that the documentation needs to be updated or something
went wrong after GenomicFeatures 1.17.20 (with AnnotationDbi 1.17.21)
because I could get it to work then (see further below).

Anyhow, I'll change the example in derfinder::makeGenomicState and
specify dbType and dbPackage

library('GenomicFeatures')
samplefile <- system.file('extdata', 'UCSC_knownGene_sample.sqlite',

+       package='GenomicFeatures')

old <- loadDb(samplefile)
new <- loadDb(samplefile, dbType = 'TxDb', dbPackage = 'GenomicFeatures')

## For some reason they are not identical.
## My guess is that each one has a different connection, while
everything else is the ## same.

identical(old, new)

[1] FALSE

## However, by 'eye' they look the same

old
