Hi Kasper,

Thanks for refreshing my confused mind (not that I didn't know it); seems like some of my synapses must have misfired one day because I was convinced that the diff file had to do with devel. I'll RTFM more attentively next time.

Cheers,

Nico

Hi folks, just to clarify.

1) I'm extensively working with Rsamtools and this package is in very active development (Thanks Martin!) which means that I do not want to wait for the package to be available through biocLite (which for me is 1 and 1/2 day after any bug correction has been published on the mailing list). So, thanks
Sean, but I need the SVN checkout , so a life with a production R and
biocLite will remain an utopia for me... Luckily, I have no problem dealing
with the dependancies by myself.

2) Kasper, maybe I was naive, but well, I expected that patching a
"production" R with the latest development patch (the R- release.diff.gz) would result in the same as using a "development" R. I mean, that is the
whole purpose of that diff file, right?

Well, your expectation is completely wrong which is why you are
running into this issue.

Let me do a short recap of what happens, since you are clearly a bit confused.

When R-2.10 was released, they immediately created two branches of R:
2.10-patched (known as R-patched) and devel.  These branches are
separate.  The only things that enter into the 2.10 branch is bug
fixes.  When enough bug fixes has accumulated a minor version of R
gets release (like R-2.10.1).  All new functionality is in devel.
This is an extremely big difference.  All the release-diff does, is
track the difference between the R-2.10 release and the patch branch
of 2.10.  So applying the diff means you essentially create the latest
R-patched.  Devel is completely different.

All of this is done to make sure that a user of R-2.10 can get bug
fixes, without getting new - perhaps non-compatible - functionality
changes.

Bioc-devel uses R-devel, not R-patched.

Kasper

So, either I might have been expecting too much, or (thanks Arnaud for making me feel less alone and, well, possibly not that crazy ;-) ) that might be an R related issue (r51142 fails for me, r51149 works for you).

Since I've "faith" in R, I got the latest R-release.diff.gz and I've patched my R 2.10.1 again. I'll let you know if that fixes the issue. Otherwise, I'll just get the R-devel; it's not like the download bandwidth would be an
issue anyway.

Cheers,

Nico

You should _always_ use R-devel when using Bioc-devel.

Hi Nicolas,

I had the same problem with the BSgenome packages from SVN.
I tried different installation and desinstallation with different version
of BSgenome, Biostrings, IRanges....

Finally, I resolved my problem by installing the latest build of R-dev (version.string R version 2.11.0 Under development (unstable) (2010-02-18
r51149).

Good luck,

Arnaud.

Hi all,

Since a few days, I get the following error message when trying to
install BSgenome from my svn checkout directory (R CMD INSTALL --

Any idea what is happening there? Instead of patching my R with the R-
release.diff.gz, should I install R-devel?

Thanks for any help,

Cheers,
