Hi all, I have submitted a new software package(HTSanalyzeR2) to bioconductor and has got some error. So I need to use the devel version of Bioconductor and the development version of R to fix any problems before the next commit. But I came across some puzzles in doing so, when I use the development version of Bioconductor and R, some pacakges I need is not usable for this development R version and I have no idea about it. Could you please provide some useful links or suggestions?
I guess you're on Windows, and the problem is that CRAN is not providing the correct binaries at the moment https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2017-November/012418.html this will eventually get cleared up, but for a Windows developer it means that they must install their packages from 'source'. This could be not too painful (install 'Rtools' from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/) or quite painful (e.g., compiling XML).
Another confusion is that since the check in bioconductor need R in 3.5 version, so then nobody could use my package by installing it from github only if they use the development version of R?
a strategy would be to create a github branch that had dependencies on an earlier version of R, and to point your github users there until your package is in Bioconductor. Martin
Thanks in advance! Best, Lina [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
