[Bioc-devel] suppressing warn from Biobase

[Bazeley, Peter]

Thank you, Patrick. I went with the latter option. It seems like a safer move in the long run.

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
