Hi,
This is a follow up to:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-July/057921.html
The Bioconductor daily builds have been reporting a lot of strange
things lately on Windows using R-2.12. This started 2 or 3 months
ago and things are not getting better with recent R-2.12.
Here is a sample from today's build results. We use Windows Server
2003 R2 for the 32-bit builds, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
for the 64-bit builds, and R-2.12 (2010-08-26 r52817) on both machines:
>>> On 64-bit Windows:

It looks like this package has a loading problem: see the messages for
details.

>>> and so on...
AFAICT those problems were never seen before (i.e. with R < 2.12).
They show up randomly everyday for a small number of packages
(between 10 and 20 out of 400). The set of victims changes everyday
and any package seems to be a potential victim (I've not been able
to observe any obvious pattern so far).
Does anyone have any idea what could make 'R CMD build' and
'R CMD check' so confused/unreliable on Windows?
Thanks,
H.
