dear All, I am trying to build an annotation package with annotationDbi. I followed the instruction to build the package, with this script: #### library(AnnotationDbi) Illumina_8v <- 'ilmn_cust_raw.txt' myMeta = c("DBSCHEMA"="illumina", "ORGANISM"="Homo sapiens", "SPECIES"="Human", "MANUFACTURER"="Illumina", "CHIPNAME"="Illumina pre-release", "MANUFACTURERURL"="http://www.illumina.com") tmpout = tempdir() populateDB("HUMANCHIP_DB", affy = FALSE, prefix = "Illumina8vprerelease",fileName = Illumina_8v, metaDataSrc = myMeta,baseMapType = "gb", outputDir = tmpout) seed <- new("AnnDbPkgSeed", Package = "Illumina8vprerelease.db", Version = "1.0.0", PkgTemplate = "HUMANCHIP.DB", AnnObjPrefix = "Illumina8vprerelease") makeAnnDbPkg(seed, file.path(tmpout, "Illumina8vprerelease.sqlite"), dest_dir = tmpout) #### however I fail, when I check the package integrity. R CMD check Illumina8vprerelease.db/ * using log directory '/home/xxx/Illumina8vprerelease.db.Rcheck' * using R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) * using session charset: UTF-8 * checking for file 'Illumina8vprerelease.db/DESCRIPTION' ...
