[Bioc-devel] Announcement of a new package called bacon

[James W. MacDonald]

You should post this on the support site (https://support.bioconductor.org),
using the 'News' item description. This bioc-devel is intended for
discussion of issues with development of packages, not really for
announcing new packages.
