[Bioc-devel] disable windows build for EiR development

Hi Kevin,

Just did that. For the record, it's easy to do this yourself: simply
add a .BBSoptions file in the top-level folder of the package with
the following line in it:

UnsupportedPlatforms: win

If you change your mind, just remove that file.

Cheers,
H.

Can you please disable the windows build for eiR in the development
branch? Thanks.

Kevin Horan

Just an important caution for other developers.

By excluding a platform, in this case Windows, you're excluding about 
1/2 of your possible users. And you're discouraging other developers 
from re-using the functionality your package provides, because this 
automatically restricts the audience for their package.

If there's an underlying problem, then it is is almost always better to 
fix the underlying problem, even if this takes quite a bit of work.
