[pkg-bioc] State of BioC compilations

[Steffen Moeller]

Hi,

in principle it all works. Some issues I get with my 2.4 R installation that 
does not accept some apparent novel language construct 1L or 0L, which 
apparently  denote a vector of zeros or ones.

I have ongoing problems to install the graph package. Both the devel and the 
release versions build a nice packages but nothing pops up in the library() 
call. Any clues? This blocks some much seeked after packages like Rgraphviz.

Something that does not work are the dependencies. This is real bad. And I 
wished, a compilation would not be attempted when a known build-dep is not 
installed. I had a quick look at the AptPkg perl package but only a quick 
one. No proper dependencies and the continues broken build attempts are no 
fun.

The download script works but does not download any indirectly required 
packages. Hence the initial constraint on the lite package is unpractical. We 
should eventually come up with a concise list of packages that we want in 
Debian and directly specify just that.

Does anybody have the r-omega-rcurl package available, even for submission to 
Debian maybe? It is required from several non-nonsense BioC packages.

Package count:  ls builds/r-bioc-* | wc -l
54

Cheers,

Steffen
