[Bioc-devel] Fwd: PREDA problems reported in the Multiple platform build/check report for BioC 3.7

Looks like a CRAN package is no more available, and this is triggering a problem with a ?suggested? dependency

* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package suggested but not available: ?samr?

which indeed has been removed from CRAN on July 20:

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/samr/index.html <https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/samr/index.html>


It may be a temporary issue (while the develpers fix it) or a more long term one.

Should I remove the dependency right away or wait a bit longer?

You can wait a little longer if you like.  It might also be helpful to reach out to the samr maintainers to see if they have any intention of bringing it back onto CRAN.  I would not recommend waiting too long, as the package will need to be fixed before the next release to avoid deprecation in release Bioc 3.8. While there is no official release date set - it is generally in October.

Good day,

Similar to you, I am awaiting the restoration of sparsediscrim which was removed on the same day as PREDA.
