[Bioc-devel] suppressing warn from Biobase

[Patrick Aboyoun]

Oops. I didn't read you message closely enough. Rather placing Biobase 
in the Depends field, I recommend you place it in the "Imports" field, 
and then in the NAMESPACE file, import only the symbols that you need.

That being said, using "."'s in function names is generally a bad idea 
for this very reason and should be avoided. Consider using a camel case 
naming convention, e.g. combineQuantileFreqs, for all your function names.


Cheers,
Patrick
