[Bioc-devel] Error when reading BAM files with readGAlignmentPairs

2014-12-12 Thread Leonard Goldstein
Dear Bioc developers, There seems to be an issue with GenomicAlignments or dependent packages as I can no longer read BAM files with readGAlignmentPairs that could be read without problems previously (see example below). I assume this is a general problem but can provide test files if necessary.

Hi Leonard, You can also see this error on the build report: http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.1/bioc-LATEST/GenomicAlignments/zin2-buildsrc.html This is a known issue that is the consequence of a recent change in Rsamtools. We'll sort it out. Thanks for your patience, H. On

I'm would perhaps not go as far as calling them dangerous, but non-ASCII characters in code are a mixed blessing which personally I'd opt to not have, on balance. Being German I can understand that people may want umlauted characters in their variable names, but where this catches on, it's
