[Bioc-devel] Incorrect warning about failing package built

Just to clarify: we build the vignettes on all platforms, via 'R CMD 
build'. However when a package contains more than one vignette like 
here, keep in mind that 'R CMD build' evaluates them all in the same R 
session. This "feature" can help a vignette succeed even if it's broken. 
For example if ReactomeGSA got loaded by a previous vignette then 
evaluation of reanalysing-public-data.Rmd would still succeed even 
though it doesn't do 'library(ReactomeGSA)'.

To complicate things even more, it could be that the order in which 
vignettes are evaluated is platform-dependent. This could explain why a 
vignette succeeds on one platform and not the other.

Best,

H.
