[bug#37988] [PATCH 0/6] Add flowWorkspace from BioConductor

[zimoun]

Dear,

The aim of this serie is to add the package flowWorkspace.

It is important to notice that the package RProtobuflib [1] from BioConductor
is not packaged using the correct convention.  RProtobuflib includes its
dependency protobuf-2.6.0 as an archive tgz and compiles it using its
./configure [2].  Therefore, the file ./configure from the unarchived
protobuf-2.6.0 needs to be patched to apply the correct shebang.

It is clearly unconventional and we should distribute our own version of
RProtobuflib using the correct way i.e., packaging protobuf-2.6.0.  However,
do we want to diverge to the official BioConductor and add maintenance burden
when we are not fully able to already package all the BioConductor archive?


All the best,
simon
