I'm posting to bioc-devel, but I suspect it would end up on R-devel. Feel free to continue the thread there at any time.

SOME TROUBLESHOOTING: Not sure if the failure is related to: Warning in getPackageName(environment(fdef)) : Created a package name, â2015-01-30 09:06:54â, when none found but it occurs immediately after this. I've seen this warning previously and it appears on all OSes as well, but does not cause the package installation to fail, cf. http://master.bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/BiocGenerics/. BTW, it's not the first time that "timestamp-as-package name" warning shows up: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2013-December/068113.html https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15481 That was related to S4. I had the impression it was resolved, but then I also haven't followed it closely. /Henrik Bug Whisperer _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
