Hello developers, These builds were announced on this list in Nov. 2017 (see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2017-November/012326.html).
The purpose of the "Long Tests builds" is to run tests that are too long to run in the 40 min. allowed by the daily builds. With the Long Tests builds, tests are allowed to run for a maximum of **6 hours** before a TIMEOUT is raised. These builds are run once a week (every Saturday). Setting long tests in your package is easy and is now documented: https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/long-tests/ Also these builds are now running on all 3 platforms: https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-longtests-LATEST/ Don't hesitate to use them! Questions/feedback welcome. Cheers, H. -- Hervé Pagès Program in Computational Biology Division of Public Health Sciences Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 1100 Fairview Ave. N, M1-B514 P.O.
