[R-pkg-devel] Bioconductor reverse dependency checks for a CRAN package

On Tue, 30 Jan 2024 16:24:40 +0000

BiocManager (the recommended way to install Bioconductor packages) at
the end of the day does essentially install.packages(repos =
BiocManager::repositories()), ensuring that the right versions of
Bioconductor packages are installed for the version of R in use.

That's great to know, thanks! I think I will use BiocManager::install
for now, both because it uses the correct repositories and because it
doesn't forcibly reinstall the packages I am asking for. With bspm, I
can run BiocManager::install(all_the_dependencies) and have the system
perform the least amount of work required to reach the desired state.

Best regards,
Ivan
