To the developers/maintainers of the splatter package:
- Allow up to 24 hours (and sometimes 48 hours) for your latest push to git@git.bioconductor.org:packages/splatter.git to reflect on this report. See Troubleshooting Build Report for more information.
- Use the following Renviron settings to reproduce errors and warnings.
- If 'R CMD check' started to fail recently on the Linux builder(s) over a missing dependency, add the missing dependency to 'Suggests:' in your DESCRIPTION file. See Renviron.bioc for more information.
