[Bioc-devel] Data package timeouts

I got simultaneous timeout notices for 'airway' and 'parathyroidSE' on
both release and devel machines (release was fine leading up to the
Bioc release).

Not sure what's the issue, I haven't changed these packages in a
while. I checked these out and these both build fine and in ~30s on my
machine (devel branch).

Here are the reports for release:

http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/release/data-experiment-LATEST/airway/malbec1-buildsrc.html
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/release/data-experiment-LATEST/parathyroidSE/malbec1-buildsrc.html

The vignettes are here:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.6/data/experiment/vignettes/airway/inst/doc/airway.html
http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.6/data/experiment/vignettes/parathyroidSE/inst/doc/parathyroidSE.pdf

best,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I was experiencing similar problems with the BeadArrayUseCases vignette,
where using getGEO() from GEOquery was getting stuck in a (seemingly)
infinite loop processing a GSE series matrix file.  It looks like both of
your examples try to do this too, so I suspect it's a similar issue.  I
think the format of those files has changed recently and it seems to be
causing a fair few issues with GEOquery.

I temporarily settled a solution by getting querying GEO directly rather
than using a local file, but it would be nice to get it back working as
intended.

Thanks for the report, Mike.

The problem was (specifically) in parsing a GSEMatrix file using a
filename. This should be fixed in versions 2.46.10 (release) and 2.47.12
(devel).

Thanks for the speedy response Sean.  I'll switch back to the version using
a file name shortly.

Cheers,
Mike

Is there a use case for BiocFileCache in here -- check if the file is in 
the cache bfcquery(), if so, check whether it needs updating 
bfcneedsupdate() and perhaps bfcupdate() ? this might make the overall 
download process more robust, and would certainly save on build time.

No problem. Let me know if it does not work as expected.

Thanks Sean! I was seeing timeouts also in recount related to GEOquery
which I just recently looked into.
