Hello, I only now learned about https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=881317 and the subsequent removal of r-cran-edger from our distro. Sigh. In that thread, the discussion about using a wrapper for installing non-free bits came up. Conda anyone?
At the very moment I cannot tell about how essential edgeR may be for seqcluster and the bcbio workflow as a whole - but Debian not offering that package at all - it is a bit weird. Steffen
