Dear BioC, The bioconductor metadata packages (such as drosophila2) have a zzz.R file that calls delay. This has been .Defunct-ed and now I the annotation packages won't build. Can the project maintainers bump the development versions? I'm not sure if this has been fixed in Biobase, but the comment in zzz.R seems to indicate that's the original source of the code. Thanks, Cyrus

This report pertains to drosophila2 version 1.7.0 and to today's R- devel SVN sources (2.2.0 prerelease). On a related note, the bioconductor metadata web page does not have a link to the drosophila2 (or drosgenome1) metadata packages. They can be found if you ape the URL from, say hgu133a, but that requires guessing correctly. Can the metadata web page maintainer add the proper links?

Hi again Cyrus, It looks like you are using R's development release (2.2.0 candidate). That is not supported by any version of BioC right now. We need a few weeks to transition and during that time BioC 1.5 remains valid for R 2.0.x, BioC devel, release 1.6 candidate, is valid for R 2.1.0 and there is no version that is guaranteed to work against 2.2.0. We are trying to make the cycle as short as possible. Best wishes, Robert in R 2.1.0, released for about 2 weeks delay is deprecated, in R devel it is indeed defunct, three weeks ago it was fine - not much we can do if things move that quickly On May 6, 2005, at 3:08 PM, Cyrus Harmon wrote: > > Dear BioC, > > The bioconductor metadata packages (such as drosophila2) have a zzz.R > file that calls delay.
