[Bioc-devel] To Bioc Team: OneChannelGUI error

2014-03-26 Thread rcaloger
Hi I am the maintainer of oneChannelGUI, I am very sorry to be in dealy to have a package version without warnings, but to correct warning I added some stupid errors in the version 1.29.8. On the 25th night, Seattle time, I fixed them in version 1.29.10 but it seems that this version was not bu

2014-03-26 Thread Hervé Pagès
Hi, I agree. I can't think of an easy way to avoid this kind of clashes between BioC and non-BioC S4 generics, other than by having things like sort() already defined as an S4 generic in base R. Note that, just having setMethod("sort", ...) in your package Ulrich, and not putting a setGeneric()

That might be worth thinking about generally, but it would still be nice to have the base generics pre-defined, so that people are not copy and pasting the definitions everywhere, hoping that they stay consistent. On Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 6:13 AM, Gabriel Becker wrote: > Perhaps a patch to R such

Perhaps a patch to R such that generics don't clobber each-other's method tables if the signatures agree? I haven't dug deeply, but simply merging the method tables seems like it would be safe when there are no conflicts. That way this type of multiplicity would not be a problem, though it wouldn'

The BiocGenerics package was designed to solve this issue within Bioconductor. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to depend on the simple BiocGenerics package for now, but ideally the base generics would be defined higher up, perhaps in the methods package itself. Maybe someone else has a

2014-03-26 Thread Ulrich Bodenhofer
[cross-posted to R-devel and bioc-devel] Hi, I am trying to implement a 'sort' method in one of the CRAN packages I am maintaining ('apcluster'). I started with using setMethod("sort", ...) in my package, which worked fine. Since many users of my package are from the bioinformatics field, I w
