Hi Martin,
I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion as to the cause of the problem. The
problem we are observing is that BiocManager::install does not currently work
with R Devel for Windows 2020-04-18 (which the installer is calling R 4.1.0)
while it still works fine with R Devel for Windows 2020-02-15 (which the
installer is calling R 4.0.0). In the former case, the installer is trying to
find a 4.1 repository that doesn't seem to exist.
Note that I have not renamed R-devel to R 4.1.0 myself. The r-devel-win.exe installer
automatically labels the R shortcut as "R 4.1.0".
I am assuming that Bioconductor packages that need compilation have to be build
using the same toolchain as used for R itself. Since I can install Bioc
packages with R 4.0.0, I assume that I am getting packages built with
Rtools3.5. If there is an Rtools4.0 version of Bioc-devel, where is it?
I can git clone the source code for Bioc packages and compile them successfully
for R 4.1.0 using Rtools4.0, but that's more tedious that using install().
It is getting very close to the Bioc 3.11 Release, so we would like to make
sure that everything works ok with the latest version of R.
Regards
Gordon

Subject: Re: [Bioc-devel] R-devel for Windows: Rtools3.5 vs Rtools4.0
The Bioconductor 3.11 builds transitioned in the last week to using the new tool
chain, following CRAN's lead.
As a sanity check (ours!) what makes you say
It appears that the Bioconductor developmental repository is using rtools35
?

Dear Biocore team,
How is Bioconductor handling the transition to the new R for Windows
toolchain?
The R-Devel build for Windows currently available from CRAN uses Jerome
Oom's new gcc 8.3.0 toolchain from rtools40, whereas R-Devel builds for
Windows downloaded from CRAN a couple of months ago used the older
rtool35 toolchain.
It appears that the Bioconductor developmental repository is using
rtools35,
which means that BiocManager::install is incompatible with the R-Devel build for
Windows now on CRAN but works with R-Devel from a month or two ago.
When Bioconductor 3.11 is released, will it be the rtools40 toolchain or
rtools35?
Thanks
Gordon
