[Bioc-devel] CNEr fails to build; patch available.

[Charles Plessy]

Thanks Ge for the answer, and for all your work on CNEr.

Me and some of my coworkers are still using your package, or at least a subset
of its functions, typically after aligning genomes externally with the
nf-core/pairgenomealign pipeline, which can output Axt format (CNEr input).

Actually, I also wrote an informal package that can load MAF or GFF from the
same pipeline, and it would be straightforward to write a function that
reads these files into CNEr::Axt objects.

Based on this, if nobody volunteers to maintain CNEr to its full extent, I
would be happy to help to maintain a streamlined version that does not rely on
compiled C code (a frequent source of bitrot) and does not support running
external aligners (since there are now pipelines that can do it easily). 

Have a nice day,

Charles
