Thx Martin, I've missed that. BTW: Is there a best practice for incorporating packages that are not maintained anymore? Am I supposed to copy the part of the discontinued package I am building on and include that in my package? Or am I able to somehow import from an archived version of the package?
the package will not be available to your users so you must act as though it does not exist. One option would be to adopt the package yourself (ideally after seeking consent of the original authors, but I believe they did not respond to earlier email). Another option would be to break out the generally useful functionality of the package into a new package, and make it available through Bioconductor. The least favorable but perhaps easiest is to copy the desired code. All of these options need to be pursued within the context of the original license, in this case GPL-2. For copied code this includes clearly marking the changes and distributing your package under GPL-2. Martin
Thx, Ludwig

Hi, I am trying to access the devel page of my package https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/EnrichmentBrowser.html but I am obtaining Page Not Found The page you were looking for was not found. What is the reason for that?
it (has always?) failed to build in devel http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.4/bioc-LATEST/EnrichmentBrowser/ because neaGUI is one of the 17 packages marked as deprecated (the package was not building and the author did not respond to email) in release 3.3 for removal in 3.4. Martin
Thx, Ludwig
