[Bioc-devel] KEGGREST is broken and has a long reverse-dependency chain.

[Charles Plessy]

Dear all,

yesterday I reported on GitHub that the regression tests of KEGGREST 
fail because the KEGGREST:::.get.tmp.url function can not parse 
www.kegg.jp pages anymore.

https://github.com/Bioconductor/KEGGREST/issues/21

This is a problem in Debian because 1) we do not allow the Bioconductor 
packages that we redistribute to fail their tests and 2) the 
reverse-dependency chain of KEGGREST is heavy.

KEGGREST <- AnnotationDbi <- GenomicFeatures <- lots of other packages

I am not familiar with KEGG enough to grasp what KEGGREST:::.get.tmp.url 
was looking for.  But I was wondering if this bug would be a low-hanging 
fruit for somebody else in this list?

Have a nice day,

Charles Plessy
