Hi Hector --
caching means that the file is downloaded once per computer, so when, for
instance, you edit your vignette and need to rebuild it, you don't have to
re-download the data.
I don't think your static vignette is suitable for Bioconductor -- it sounds
like you are trying to provide a full 'reproducible' analysis, maybe in support
of a publication or other product of your research. But the computational
demands of the full analysis is beyond the scope of what can be supported by
our build system. I think you would be better off finding another solution, for
instance exploring GitHub 'actions' and docker containers to build the
vignette, and github.io to make the built vignette available to interested
users. I don't know whether the computational demands of your vignette can be
satisfied by GitHub actions, or whether you would run into limitations of time
and space there, too -- it would be worth figuring out before embarking on that
solution.
Because the Bioconductor build system would not build the vignette, the advice
remains that the static vignette should NOT be included in your Bioconductor
package.

Thanks Lori for your answer.
I am not sure about the benefits of use BiocFileCache in this case, because
data is only needed to run a more extensive tutorial based on large dataset.
This dataset is not needed for the functionality of the package and is just a
one time download.
Besides that, i have annother question related.
In the review of the package you(Lori) told me that a static vigente don�t
was recommended because static vignettes have a tendency to get stale and i am
agree with that.
I have the R markdown of this extended tutorial and the point is that if i
execute it can take more that one hour to download the data and process it. So,
besides a static vigente, is there other way of doing it and don�t overpass the
package build limit of bioconductor?
