Abstract

The main aim of this challenge is to compile useful functionality to assist package developers in finding the underlying cause for package build failures, e.g., on the Bioconductor build machines. A package may fail to build because of errors introduced in the package itself, but given the strong interdependencies among Bioconductor packages, the underlying reason can also be changes introduced in another package.

Difficulty

Intermediate.
