[Bioc-devel] Problem with uncompressing files on tokay1?

[Nicolas Delhomme]

Hej Martin and Dan!

First of all, I wish you both a happy new year!

I have made the move to the BiocFileCache, but the build report (3.10 for easyRNASeq) fails as follows:

* creating vignettes ... ERROR
--- re-building ‘simpleRNASeq.Rmd’ using rmarkdown
Quitting from lines 40-41 (./Chapters/01-Introduction.Rmd) 
Quitting from lines NA-42 (./Chapters/01-Introduction.Rmd) 
Error: processing vignette 'simpleRNASeq.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
bfcadd() failed; see warnings()

I can’t reproduce it, so it seems to be related to the build system at Bioc?

Thanks,

Nico

I have no easy access to a windows machine, so I can’t easily reproduce the problem. Any insight into what could be the reason would be much appreciated :-)
