Hi,

I have never used a mailing list before so do not hesitate to let me know
if I'm doing something wrong.

I have been growingly increasingly fond of the Bioconductor project and
along with a small intend on submitting a package.  We have tried to follow
package guidelines as much as possible and noticed a size limit on software
packages (4MB).  The example data sets will greatly exceed that quota
(~150MB) so we figured we'd package the data separately (e.g. minfi and
minfiData).  In that case, what is the right order for submitting the
packages?  Of course, the data package will be completely documented first
so should we

1. submit the data package, then the software package? (You will have to
take our word that the software package is coming up.)
2. submit the software package, then the data package? (The software
depends on the data though for the vignette!)
3. submit both at the same time.

Also, is there a way to test for Bioconductor compliance like the --as-cran
option of the R CMD check command?

Thank you for your help.  I'm looking forward to becoming an active
developer in the Bioconductor community.
