Hi Lori and Core Team, Hope this change will make it easier for all to submit packages to Bioconductor (and review them). I have a couple of comments on the documentation. I think that the extensive documentation available can be...

Dear all, I'm trying to learn a bit about the CRAN history and how it is operated. I was looking at the source code of the tools package and found in CRANtools.R some internal functions retrieving files accessible...

Hi, Yes, Jason your Github username is the Github id. I have a question about one social feature of github: the topics of a repository. Should we tag the repositories with packages included (or intended to be included) in Bioconductor...

Hi Lori, Many thanks for your quick response. I think the requirements for new packages are great but I'm not sure all these standards can be applied to older packages: The new requirements in BiocCheck might result in warnings...

Yes I was arguing if NEWS.md could be used. Only after Lori reply I realized the changes don't apply for the next release of Bioconductor. Anyway, thanks Laurent for the command, and the team for considering it in...

Thanks Uwe for answering, I have a question related to changing maintainers. What happens when the old/current maintainer does not respond to emails or other methods of contact? Would the new maintainer need to wait until the package is...

Dear Lori, Is the support site notification system by email working as intended? I just activated the "Email for every new thread (mailing list mode)" and I got emails from topics not in my Watched tags. When I had a...

Dear Bioconductor team and list, I found that my package on devel (BioCor) fails to build on all the OS. The error message is related to creating figures of the vignette (see below). I haven't touched the vignettes in...

Thanks Martin for looking into it. I think that is the reason of the problem, the timeline of the errors building certainly match. I couldn't find this documented in Writing R Extensions, is this behavior documented somewhere? Llu?s...

Hi David, Dependency checks cannot be run on win /Mac builders as far as I know. Some packages have more than 2000 packages depending on them. It would be too much for the heavily used CRAN's machines. Best, Llu...

Hi Lori, There is some documentation <https://contributions.bioconductor.org/package-end-of-life-policy.html#criteria-for-package-deprecation-by-core-team> about how to keep a package on Bioconductor (and when they are archived). Among other conditions it...

Thanks Henrik for confirming there is nothing similar currently. Duncan: Letting the user choose when to remove the folder/data at will is easy. I was trying to ensure that the system is clean after removing the package. Thanks. On...

Hi Carsten, This seems to be an unfortunate chain of events between different packages: RcppMLPACK -> emstreeR -> wflo Package RcppMLPACK was archived on 2021-12-20 as issues were not corrected despite reminders. This resulted in the package emstreeR being archived...

Hi Herv?, I wasn't aware of the discrepancy between the monthly number of IPs and the yearly number of IPs. I didn't realize that my own package showed this distinction between monthly and yearly number of IPs. Thanks...

Hi Lori, There is no need to flush libraries or reinstall R versions to check packages available on repositories. Comparing available packages with dependencies of current (or devel) Bioconductor dependencies generates that list. Checking this more often will give package...

Dear Pepijn, Thank you for the very detailed email. Part of these 22 days might be explained by CRAN volunteers being on vacations a couple of weeks, until yesterday. I would submit the latest version of the package with the...

Hi, The maintainer is already aware of this error. I reported it several months ago https://github.com/colearendt/xlsx/issues/132 and is reported multiple times (issues 154, 156, 159) There is a fix on the github version of...

Hi David, If you didn't increase the version number it could happen that the old version of the package was used (as CRAN might not be aware that there is a new version). The CRAN repository policy says: "Increasing...

Dear Matthias and Robert, My namespace doesn't import that package. It is mentioned in the Description file in Suggests, and on the same vignette it is and loaded but after the line where the error is reported. The error...
