[BioC] Building an annotation data package - not Affymetrix

[Lavinia Gordon]

   Dear all
   I would like to use the package 'geneplotter' which requires a Bioconductor
   data package.
   I cannot see a Bioconductor data package for the Nimblegen HG18 promoter
   arrays, so I will need to make my own.
   Based on what I can see in the mailing list, I believe that I need to use
   AnnotationDbi, and modify the function makeProbePackage to read in NimbleGen
   (as opposed to Affymetrix data).
   Could  anyone confirm that I am on the right track?/show me any useful
   pointers?
   with many thanks for your time,
   Lavinia Gordon.
