[Bioc-devel] minor suggestion for BiocStyle?

2014-09-26 Thread Ramon Diaz-Uriarte
Dear All, I am now using BiocStyle for most of the latex I produce (even non-bioc related, such as teaching class notes) but I find that the text of the caption is often not distinct enough from the rest of the surrounding text, especially with multi-line captions. I fix that using the caption pa

[Bioc-devel] Important news about pending updates to the RSQLite package

2014-09-26 Thread Dan Tenenbaum
Hi all, RSQLite 1.0.0 is scheduled to be released on October 20th, just a few days after the Bioconductor 3.0 release. It is a major update and involves a lot of changes; many functions have been deprecated, removed, renamed, are no longer exported, or have different arguments. I've pasted the

About the usability/clutter/UI -- IMHO, I think the bioconductor logo/banner is a bit too big and moving all of "the stuff" that's to the right of it "so far to the right" might be contributing to some of the disorientation (at least, I feel that it does to me). Perhaps moving the logo all the way

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a little puzzled by the 'Messages' being somehow disproportionately large and wonder whether that's a browser-specific thing. I also find things a little noisy. Here's a cheap fix -- narrow your browser window. The site will go into 'mobile' mode, with nice clean p

1. When you click "new post" I think there should be some mention that if you report an issue with a specific package, you should tag the post with package name. 2. Is there a way to have default signature? 3. Is there some way to modify the layout. I am getting confused by all the colors and te

Re: [Bioc-devel] BiocParallel-devel error

2014-09-26 Thread Michel Lang
This was a bug in BatchJobs::waitForJobs(). We now throw an error if jobs "disappear" due to a faulty template file. I'd appreciate if you could confirm that this is now correctly catched and handled on your system. I furthermore suggest to replace NULL with NA_character_ in .convertToSimpleError()
