[Bioc-devel] Custom build of packages

[Leonardo Collado Torres]

You could also run tests on Travis CI. That's what I do for my
packages. See https://travis-ci.org/lcolladotor/derfinder and
https://github.com/lcolladotor/derfinder/blob/master/.travis.yml for
an example. If you want to use Travis, check the main docs
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/r
