Hi,

this one is mainly for the maintainer (Laurent Gautier), but I post it
to bioc-devel also as request to minimize package dependencies in R
and BioC in general:

The current DESCRIPTION of 'affypdnn' is:

Package: affypdnn
Version: 1.14.3
Depends: R (>= 2.3.0), affy (>= 1.5), affydata, hgu95av2probe

Could you please update this to:

Package: affypdnn
Version: 1.14.3
Depends: R (>= 2.3.0), affy (>= 1.5)
Suggests: affydata, hgu95av2probe

and use request("affydata") and request("hgu95av2probe") where those
two are actually needed?

Cheers

Henrik
