[Bioc-devel] get_dcf_info failed and build intervals

Hi,

Thanks Herve. I have actually spent weeks making sure my packages passed 
check and build following guidelines. So I am actually doing my best and 
your snarky remark is not appreciated.

Then at the very end I expanded the DESCRIPTION file by putting in line 
breaks in the "description" field, which caused the build to fail. My bad.

Thank you for the feedback, I'm running the build on my machine to make 
sure there are no more trivial errors.

Regards
Shraddha

    How about making sure that your package is valid before submitting?
