OK, pushed but not uploaded.  I don't think these changes are worth
uploads on their own.

Wishlist bug #881318 filed, so I don't forget.

Just go ahead. :-)

We do not *yet* have a tool but I think dh-make-R could / should be
tweaked to enable updating a package (but it is not me who will do this
updata). 

Kind regards and thanks for the helpful hints

Updating Build-Depends for R packages

[Graham Inggs]

Hi!

I noticed the following build failures in Ubuntu recently:

r-bioc-genomicfeatures 1.30.0+dfsg-1
Error : package ‘GenomicRanges’ 1.28.6 was found, but >= 1.29.14 is
required by ‘GenomicFeatures’

r-bioc-genomicalignments 1.14.0-1
Error : package ‘GenomicRanges’ 1.28.6 was found, but >= 1.29.14 is
required by ‘GenomicAlignments’

r-bioc-bsgenome 1.46.0-1
Error : package ‘GenomicRanges’ 1.28.6 was found, but >= 1.29.14 is
required by ‘BSgenome’

r-bioc-delayedarray 0.4.1-1
Error : package ‘IRanges’ 2.10.5 was found, but >= 2.11.17 is required
by ‘DelayedArray’

Simply giving back these builds was sufficient since the new packages
had been published, but should the Build-Depends of these packages be
updated?  I'm happy to make the changes in git, given the go-ahead.

Do we have a tool that can update the Build-Depends, or at least warn
of new / updated versioned dependencies?

Regards
Graham
