[Bioc-devel] Need help on biomaRt

Hi,

With the help from Herve, we found out that the devel version of biomaRt is
broken with the new Rcurl version 095-1. This is confirmed by the build
system:
  
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.5/bioc-LATEST/biomaRt/wilson2-buildsr
c.html

As you can see, it's broken on Linux and Mac OS. It looks OK
on the Window build machine because this machine is using an
older version of RCurl (0.94-1).

I am in the process of submitting a contributed package that relies on
biomaRt and my package won't be passed to the reviewers until biomaRt is
fixed. Could someone please fix the devel version of biomaRt? Thanks a lot
for your kind help!

Best regards,

Julie

The problem was fixed by Duncan Temple Lang in the latest RCurl  
version 0.97-3 which is available from Omegahat (http://www.omegahat.org/RCurl/ 
)
The automatic updates on our build systems should pick this up any  
time now, so all you need is patience for one or two more days :)
