[Bioc-devel] Package submission- external dependancy

2 messages · Anand MT, Shepherd, Lori

Dear core team,

I would like to submit my package trackplot <https://github.com/PoisonAlien/trackplot> to Bioconductor. However, it depends on an external command line tool (bwtool) that needs to be installed and located under the path. 

Would this dependancy make the package eligible for Bioconductor submission? 

Thank you.

Best.

Could you please provide a link to the tool for evaluation? We will take a look to see if it is feasible.

Also note it would be helpful to have an INSTALL file and list the system dependency in your DESCRIPTION as well. http://contributions.bioconductor.org/sysdep.html#sysdep

Cheers,
