Bug#721801: Precomputed results in GenomicRanges [Was: r-bioc-genomicranges_1.12.4-1_amd64.changes REJECTED]

[Andreas Tille <tille@debian.org>]

Hi,

the Debian Med team tries to package several parts of BioConductor.
When trying to upload GenomicRanges our ftpmaster criticised that the
source contains some precomputed results inside the documentation which
is in conflict with our policy which requires the source for all binary
data.  There could be different solutions for this:

  1. If you consider the files
         GenomicRanges/inst/doc/precomputed_results/*.rda
     as not very important for the user documentation and it might be
     sufficient to download the files from somewhere else.

  2. Provide a recipe to reprodce the precomputed results we could
     use in the package building process to recreate the data.

May be there are other solutions but these come to my mind for the
moment.

Any hint what we should do?

Kind regards and thanks for providing BioConductor as Free Software

       Andreas.

Howdy R-folks,

As per the recent mail, there are precomputed results in
./GenomicRanges/inst/doc/precomputed_results but no way to reproduce
this (as far as I can see).

I don't see you rebuilding these in d/rules.

Please point me to how these can be rebuilt with what's currently
in the source tarball.

Thanks!
  Paul
