[Bioc-devel] Errors and warnings while submitting package

2 messages · Eric ..., Shepherd, Lori

Hi Bioconductor team,

I submitted my package to the Bioconductor and there are these errors and warnings that appear in the bioconductor check but that doesn`t appear when I compile. I believe these errors happen not because of my package but rather because of the dependency of other packages/programs like X11 that need to be installed on the PC for the RGL package to work. Any suggestions on what I can do?
One more thing, this error "Warning: Update R version dependency from 3.4.2 to 3.5? I don`t know why I asked to change to version 3.5 since in my computers I use 3.4.2, I have to know what exactly is it requiring version 3.5?


  *   checking whether package BASiNET can be installed ? [6s/5s] WARNING
Found the following significant warnings:
Warning: 'rgl_init' failed, running with rgl.useNULL = TRUE

  *   Warning in rgl.init(initValue, onlyNULL) :
RGL: unable to open X11 display
Warning: 'rgl_init' failed, running with rgl.useNULL = TRUE

  *   ERROR: dependencies RWeka, rmcfs are not available for package BASiNET

  *   Warning: Update R version dependency from 3.4.2 to 3.5

Thanks,

Eric

We will look into the X11 on our end -


ERROR: dependencies RWeka, rmcfs are not available for package BASiNET is occurring on mac - this is because the CRAN binary for rJava (a requirement of rmcfs) is not available. Unfortunately until CRAN provides this binary we cannot install the packages on our system. The review is aware and can continue reviewing based on the linux build results.


Warning: Update R version dependency from 3.4.2 to 3.5

The single package builder is building under development -  R 3.5 and Bioc 3.7 -  we strongly suggest having 3.5 listed because that is the testing environment that we can guarantee will work with all package dependencies and R version. In our testing environment we can ensure that the versions of the package are completely up-to-date and will run - there is no guarantee that the package versions on a local or remote machine have the up-to-date versions of packages and there are subtle differences between R versions that may affect package functionality.
