[Bioc-devel] new package IGV needs web browsers on the build machines to pass build & check

[Vincent Carey]

Hi Paul -- I am trying to build your vignette but it has

load("~/s/work/priceLab/AD/tbl.gwas.level_1.RData")


I think it should be possible to get your package through

check, but I would like to get the vignette built and

check out the tests before commenting further.
