Hi, I intend to package BioConductor interactiveDisplayBase as a new dependency for biovizBase version 1.20.0 (of BioConductor 3.3) as a Debian package. The Debian packaging process involves loading the package and since the packaging process needs to work on a machine disconnected from the internet it results in the following error:
* installing *source* package ‘interactiveDisplayBase’ ... ** R ** inst ** preparing package for lazy loading Warning in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : unable to connect to 'bioconductor.org' on port 80. Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open the connection Error : unable to load R code in package ‘interactiveDisplayBase’ ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘interactiveDisplayBase’ I wonder whether there is any chance to make this error non-critical and add a warning to enable passing this step without breaking the build on a disconnected box. BTW, even if I try to do this on a box connected to the internet via proxy the build ends with the same error which is IMHO a real bug inside interactiveDisplayBase since it does not respect the http_proxy variable (and possibly whatever means will be done to set the proxy on non-Linux systems which I did not verified). Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
