Hi Dirk,

I signed (rdiaz-guest) and was looking around. I could not find the code for 
building packages (it seems there are no files for the pkg-bioc project which 
I can access from alioth); is this the Perl script you mention and Egon 
refers to in his message today to the pkg-bioc-devel list? 

In addition, a couple of questions: to prevent accidentally building packages 
which might use Goto's BLAS I assume all package building should be done 
against a non-Goto's version?. Finally, I know no Perl at all (= even 
surrounded by bioinformaticians I've resisted heroically all efforts to coax 
me to learn Perl), but I assume that should be no problem, at least in terms 
of checking that things work, etc.


Best,

R.
