[Bioc-devel] Package home pages with >1 URL have broken links

[Gordon Smyth]

The example on page 4 of the "Writing R Extensions" manual shows that the URL field fo the DESCRIPTION file can contain a list of comma-separated URLs.

Until very recently, the two URLs given in edgeR's DESCRIPTION file were rendered correctly on the edgeR home page. After the most recent website revision, though, the two URLs are now pasted together into one href URL, which of course fails if a users clicks on it.

PS. I did much prefer the old home pages! A lot of features that I found useful have now been removed.

Regards
Gordon
