Hello,

I have noticed that Nebbiolo2 (Linux (Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS) seems to be the
only system listed on the build page for Bioconductor packages now. Does
this mean that it is now the only system on which the building of
Bioconductor packages is checked?

Best wishes,

Richard Heery

For any given package, an "other builds" link is given in the build report.

For methodical you would visit

https://bioc.r-universe.dev/methodical#checktable

An overview of build processes is at https://bioc.r-universe.dev/builds

We are in the process of transitioning software package processing to
r-universe.  More details will be forthcoming.

So to be a bit more explicit, noting that I am not deeply
knowledgeable about this.

We have for years maintained a build system (some machines and scripts) for
building bioconductor. For various reasons, we are transitioning to using
the r-universe to build bioc. On the "traditional" build reports, what you
see listed are the builds that are running on the "old" system (which
currently is only building linux). To see the reports in the new build
system (which currently builds windows and macos) you go to the link Vince
gives to the r-universe. Eventually, we will only use  r-universe, and the
traditional build reports will go away. What we are seeing now is a
transition stage.

Thanks very much for the explanation.

Could I just ask what is the build for windows-oldrel? I just see devel and
release for macOS and linux.

Best wishes,

Richard
