[Bioc-devel] Using BiocInstaller with R 3.4.0 beta

Dear BioC core,

Thanks for the report, Herve. If I understand correctly, there is
nothing I can do at this point to make QuasR green on windows, correct?

I have another question regarding QuasR not building on veracruz2: The
vignette does not build currently, reporting:
Error on veracruz2.bioconductor.org processing sample
/tmp/RtmpJBWrjI/chip_1_1.fq.bz2df0b6901ff33.fastq : 'asBam' internal:
samtools invoked 'abort' ...

Though it seems to build fine on other platforms, and there were no
recent changes to the vignette. What would you or other suggest to do
about that?

Any suggestions are appreciated,
Michael
