I would consider if your package really needs to depend on the dependent
package or if there are alternative solutions. Not supporting on windows will
make your package not useful for a large portion of the Bioconductor community.
That said...
You can add a hidden file to the top level of the package `.BBSoptions`
(Please be case sensitive) and add the single line `UnsupportedPlatforms: win`

Subject: [Bioc-devel] Remove Windows support for a package
Hi,
A package I maintain cannot be built on Windows server because a
dependency 'bigmemoryExtras' is no longer supported on Windows (please
see the error message below).
ERROR: dependency 'bigmemoryExtras' is not available for package
'methyAnalysis'*
removing
'C:/Users/biocbuild/bbs-3.12-bioc/meat/methyAnalysis.buildbin-libdir/methyAnalysis'
Could you let me know how I can safely remove the windows support from
the devel version?
Thanks,
Lei
