Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
The 'reposTools' package used to be part of the infrastructure of the
BioConductor project (www.bioconductor.org, 'BioC' for short). It served as
the initial backbone for R package installation for BioC.
This has changed in the last BioConductor release in the fall. Now BioC
installs by slurping some startup scripts directly from R.
So r-bioc-repostools is obsolete, and we should remove. Nothing else depends
on this package, so removal is harmless.
Thanks for Seth (from BioC upstream) for confirming that it is indeed
deprecated upstream.
Cheers, Dirk
