[Bioc-devel] Accepted packages can't find each other and fail build

[Obenchain, Valerie]

Hi Sokratis,

I added the .BBSoptions file to pcxn when it should have been added to pcxnData. The .BBSoptions file should be put in the package that 'Suggests' (not 'Depends') on the other. In this case it's pcxnData that needs the .BBSoptions. Sorry for the mix up, this has been fixed.

The data package should install with today's builds and be clean on the Saturday report. The software package should then install with the Saturday builds and be clean on the Sunday report.

We have already taken care of this on our end and you shouldn't need to do anything else.  As always changes reflected may take a few days to reflect in the build reports.


The solution is to add a .BBSoptions file with ForceInstall: TRUE to the software package.  Since there is a circular dependency this will force install the software package even though there will be ERRORs because of the missing data package.  On the next build of the data packages, the data package will then successfully build finding the software package. Then following, the software package will also build finding the data package.

Hey all,

I created 2 packages that got accepted (pcxn and pcxnData) where pcxn
depends on the data coming from pcxnData. However, in the vignettes of
pcxnData I am using library(pcxn) to demonstrate what can you do with the
data. As a result both packages fail building in BioC 3.6 as they can't
find each other. In a previous pair of packages I am maintaining (pathprint
and pathprintGEOData) I could use the first library in the data package
vignette and building was fine. Is it necessary to remove library(pcxn)
from pcxnData to get them build? Thanks in advance!

Cheers
