[Bioc-devel] bioconductor_docker:devel missing MAE and GenomeInfoDb

I am setting up a repo/docker for the coming Bioc2021 workshops, and apparently packages ?GenomeInfoDb?, ?MultiAssayExperiment? are not available for this version of R [1] (they indeed fail on devel).  Surprisingly, they seemed to be available earlier in the day - my action failed for a different reason, much later in the process.

Hi Laurent,

Since you are using the devel version of `bioconductor_docker` it's possible that the packages failed to build on the build system. 

For example, http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/MultiAssayExperiment/ , MultiAsssayExperiment failed to build on devel. A better solution for this, is to use the release 3.12 version of 'bioconductor_docker:RELEASE_3_12'. 

This may be transient, and could be fixed by the maintainers.

Best,

Nitesh

hi,

a possible workaround is to install directly from the repo using the 
syntax "Bioconductor/pkgname" in the call to 'BiocManager::install()'. 
this just worked in my current devel container:

BiocManager::install("Bioconductor/GenomeInfoDb")

while attempting to 'BiocManager::install("GenomeInfDb")' didn't. i 
think the following discussion we had on June last year in this list is 
relevant to his issue:

cheers,

robert.

Thank you Robert and Nitesh for your input.

The workshops at EuroBioc were using devel (as far as I can remember at least) which is why I am using bioconductor_docker:devel. For now, I will (try to) install these two packages from github.

Best wishes,

Laurent

Hi Laurent,

This is a side-effect of the improvements to / migration of the build 
system (thanks Herv?!).
Any packages that were not building would be marked with that error because
the last-propagated version of the package would not be available.
I have updated MultiAssayExperiment to build and it should propagate today
(later this evening your time). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Marcel
