Accidental install from old bioclite repo. #21
Comments
So I did already make some updates last week to both the vignette (e5e8e04) and entry-page README.md (742870f; version bump in 8012311) that instruct users to ensure they are running the latest version of Bioconductor, if trying to install from Bioconductor. This will be a hard one to catch with a test in the code itself, unless @lee-t has some ideas. Is there a way to insert some code someplace so LOBSTAHS checks to see if a more recent version of itself exists someplace, and then alerts the user to such? |
One of the issues with R is that there is clear lack of indication as to whether or not a loaded repo url is up-to-date. That is, when a package loads, there is no information to say whether or not the repo is current or a version behind (out of date). We could add a check, but that will require something that checks the pkgInfo in Bioconductor to ensure the proper version. Alternatively, we could host a version file on our own webserver or on Git and ask the code to check that first. |
Ugh, it's so true. Not a great design. |
I like both of those ideas though, Tyrone. |
Default instructions on the github for downloading lobstahs from Bioconductor do not check that your local version of bioclite is up to date. This meant I installed a very old version of LOBSTAHS and then ran into errors.
