Dear Lori, I already foxed the issue in the devel branch which now gives a clean check: https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.8/bioc-LATEST/
The problema was due to a CRAN dependency no more available since July 20, 2018. Would you recommend fixing the same issue also in the current release branch? Or shall I leave it unchanged for consistency? All the best Francesco > On 6 Aug 2018, at 20:33, Shepherd, Lori <lori.sheph...@roswellpark.org> wrote: > > You can wait a little longer if you like.
