[Bioc-devel] XCMS in BioC 2.3 [Was: BioC 2.3 release: please commit bug fixes]

[Patrick Aboyoun]

Steffen,
Your efforts weren't in vain. I just tried xcms on pitt (Mac OS X build machine) with the fixes you made and the package built and checked without issue. We'll be able to release xcms in all three package types (source, Windows binary, and Mac OS X binary).


Cheers,
Patrick
