Hi Vince and Stephanie,

There was some discussion in the Bioconductor slack about these warnings,
and they definitely seem to be related to a change in R-devel, which tries
to create files with names that are invalid on the Windows filesystem.

However, the reason you may not see them on your local machine is due to
the way the Bioconductor build system runs the package checks, which are a
little more convoluted than you probably run locally.  Using my typical
approach I see the warning messages printed in the output of R CMD INSTALL,
but it doesn't trigger anything in R CMD check.

I suspect that the build system warnings will persist for a while longer as
the issue is still there, but I don't think there's anything you can do as
a package developer, so there's no need to worry about it for now.
Hopefully a fix will make it's way into R-devel fairly soon.

Mike
