Hi, My name is Maria Rodrigo-Domingo, I am a PhD student in Biostatistics in Aalborg, Denmark. I am trying to create a package for Affymetrix HuEx-1_0 v2 using package pdInfoBuilder in order to build a custom CDF file afterwards. However, I find a number of inconsistencies between the output from R, see below, and the documentation, "Building Annotation Packages with pdInfoBuilder for Use with the oligo Package" by Benilton Carvalho on April 7, 2009. I have surrounded the differences between the documentation and my output by *'s. Are these differences only due to updates in the package that have not been submitted to the documentation or are they actual errors that will be carried on to my cdf file? The messages related to core, full and extended probeset files do not appear in the documentation either, as I think they were not a possible input at the time the documentation was written, so I just assume they are correct and will not comment anything about them. Besides, I get two warning messages that I believe originate from file "HuEx-1_0-st-v2.r2.pgf". Any ideas of what could be causing the warning messages and whether they will affect the resulting package? Thanks for any feedback.
