Dear BioC-devel, The NetResponse package builds in Linux & Mac with no problems. For Windows the build/check report mentions that the platform is "not supported" (http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.10/bioc-LATEST/). This is due to inclusion of certain graphics tools that are apparently not available in default Windows systems.
I think it's because multicore and doMC are not supported on Windows. Most of the functionality of these packages can be found in the 'parallel' package, however, which is part of R and is cross-platform.
As no errors/warnings are produced, however, is the package still going to be accepted to the next BioC release, or should I try to modify the package dependencies so that Windows will become supported for the tests?
The package will make it into release, it just won't have a windows binary available unless multicore and doMC are dropped. Dan
best regards. Leo
