So a preliminary diagnosis is that some packages are not building even though they build in the nightly builds. The problem could be a newer compiler, newer R-devel, slightly different OS (debian vs ubuntu) or something else. Investigating further. However, in the meantime, bioconductor/devel_ba

Using the integrated help system is nice, but isn't always ideal. Just for example: when I'm ssh'd into my work cluster I don't get a nice web page, I instead get the ascii-formatted version, which is considerably harder to read and doesn't include proper links. Running a second local instance

Data (facts) are not copyright worthy, but databases (collections of facts) can be. See Feist v Rural for precedent; in short, there must be an inobvious and creative aspect to the database for it to be elevated to copyrightable status. I doubt that a collection of datasets would clear this ba

One thing about accessing the html versions locally (e.g., via ? with options(help_type="html")] or help.start() or Rstudio) is that you get the version relevant to your R / Bioconductor, rather than whatever is at the top of google; I guess the same applies to the pdf versions, and the reason t
