Hello !

I need some help to build my package using reactome.db for reactomePA functions.

In fact, builds and remote downloads have failed for Ubuntu but not for Windows 10 at reactome.db downloading. The same appears when I try to download reactome.db alone.

Archive downloading url works manually from Bioconductor page.

With this command:

BiocManager::install("reactome.db")

I get these messages:

Bioconductor version 3.11 (BiocManager 1.30.10), R 4.0.3 (2020-10-10)

[EDIT] But in case of package building, this warning is an issue, so how should we manage it ? For CRAN checks for instance.

I get:

...

Then:

* installing *source* package ‘reactome.db’ ...
** using staged installation
** R
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
** testing if installed package can be loaded from final location
** testing if installed package keeps a record of temporary installation path
* creating tarball
Build timed out (after 20 minutes). Marking the build as failed.
Build was aborted

Again a question of time, so my question is, how to manage this ? Or this package could be a part of Bioconductor despite this warning ?

Any ideas ? Thanks !
