[Bioc-devel] [BioC] Can\'t load new BioC packages

[Nicolas Delhomme]

Hej Dan!

You might get that question a lot in the next days, maverick is pretty popular :-). Could you add a temporary check in Bioclite() for the OS and report a more appropriate error message if it is running OSX maverick? I bet this is going to save you some email traffic ;-) Otherwise we can also take turn to answer them :-)
