[Bioc-devel] FYI: Windows build of affyPLM devel has been broken for a while

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Hi,

the affyPLM devel build for Windows has been broken for a while.  Last
successful build was/is v1.13.6 (2007-06-22) and now were on
v1.13.13(14).  Since there has recently been quite of bit of migration
from affyPLM to preprocessCore, code that relies on
affyPLM/preprocessCore is out of date on Windows.

I'm not sure this is a package maintainer problem or a problem with
the BioC builds. From the build report:
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.1/bioc-LATEST/affyPLM/liverpool-buildsrc.html

texi2dvi.exe: Permission denied: MAplots.tex
