[R] Bioconductor and R-devel

[Seth Falcon]

Hi Jennifer,

I'm moving this over to the bioconductor mail list since we are
discussing Bioconductor packages, that would be the best place for the
discussion at this point.  Please subscribe and reply there.

A couple quick comments:

1. You do realize BioC 1.7 is the current devel version, right?
2. After you see the error, try traceback() to get a better idea of
   where things are going wrong.  Then you can use debug(someFunc) to
   debug in the place where the error occurs.  I'm sure the package
   maintainers will be most receptive to any bug fixes.

Best,

+ seth
