Debian BioConductor archive
The {alioth:pkg-bioc} is working on Debian packages repository for the libraries at ?BioConductor (http://www.bioconductor.org). More information is found on this Wiki page: ?AliothPkgBioc.
The following steps are required to prepare all ?BioConductor packages:
1. Preparation of folders
mkdir bioc && cd bioc && ln -s ../cran2deb.pl ../["CRAN2DEB"].pm .
2. Mirroring
Tools
wget -r --reject zip -l 2 -N -nH \ http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/bioc/devel/src/contrib/html/
- Experiment Data
Annotation
for p in \ http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/data/annotation/stable/src/contrib/html/["humanCHRLOC"].html \ http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/data/annotation/stable/src/contrib/html/["humanLLMappings"].html \ http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/data/annotation/stable/src/contrib/html/KEGG.html \ http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/data/annotation/stable/src/contrib/html/["ratCHRLOC"].html \ http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/data/annotation/stable/src/contrib/html/["ratLLMappings"].html \ http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/data/annotation/stable/src/contrib/html/GO.html; \ do wget -r --non-verbose --reject ndex.html,zip -l 1 -N -nH $p done
Any suggestion on how to improve the download of a selected number of packages from the annotation packages are welcome.
3. Compilation
./cran2deb
Remaining issues

?GeneTraffic: requires SSOAP - is this free? Where?
- ["aCGH"]: build error - need to investigate
- prada: preparing package for lazy loading Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'prada'
- rfcdmin: mysterious build error
- ["RdbiPgSQL"]: needs environment variable for postgresql
- ["iSPlot"]: dependency to ["RGtk"] (maybe I should try this one again)
- twilight: cannot represent change to README: binary file contents changed
KEGGSOAP: SSOAP (>= 0.2), ["RCurl"] (>= 0.4)
- gpls: cannot represent change to NAMESPACE: binary file contents changed, also: Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 10
