[Bioc-devel] Vignette package error

[Jason Ross]

Hi Dan,

I sure I'm making newb errors, but the failure only on missMethyl had me 
confused. My package internally only relies upon Rcpp, but the vignette 
makes extensive use of libraries, particularly data libraries (as the 
package is batch correction software for data). The vignette makes use 
of missMethyl, RColorBrewer, bladderbatch, limma, minfi, lumi, msmsEDA, 
affydata and minfiData but I only get a build error for missMethyl. None 
of these libraries where declared in the Suggests field.

My guess is that these other packages are present on the build machines, 
but missMethyl is not - that is why it is failing on that library alone?

However, having read more now about vignettes, I've realised I should 
actually declare all of these libraries in the Suggests field to make 
the package installation portable.

Cheers,
Jason.
