Dear bioc-devel,

one of the requirements for the Bioconductor package is to pass the R CMD
BUILD, including some constraints on the time. To accommodate for some
specific cases, Bioconductor implements a concept of long tests which are
excluded from the build time limit. I wonder if a corresponding concept
exists for the vignettes? I do realize the need for time constraints.
However, I think it could be of use to supplement a main vignette with
supplementary vignettes that could showcase the package use eg. on a larger
dataset. Those could have a less strict constraints policy eg. more time to
run, more resources like number of cores, RAM etc. Are there any ways to
accomplish this?

Yes, by creating (and submitting) a workflow package. This is basically a vignette wrapped in its own dedicated package (the package typically contains no R code).

List of existing workflow packages:

https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/BiocViews.html#___Workflow

Workflow builds (Tuesdays and Fridays):

  https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.15/workflows-LATEST/

Timeout limit is 2h for these packages.

Cheers,

H.



Best Maciek
