forge BSgenome data package from unpublished genome #11

Closed tamaraprieto closed 4 years ago

tamaraprieto commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the vignette on how to forge a BSgenome data package!It is so useful. I would like to create a package for a still unpublished genome I have access to, and I was wondering if it is possible to do it with missing fields as source_url or release_date for instance. I had already created the twoBit file and a seed file without some fields and I am getting the following error (it seems has nothing to do with the missing fields but I am uncertain) when running forgeBSgenomeDataPkg

Error in forgeBSgenomeDataPkg(y, seqs_srcdir = seqs_srcdir, destdir = destdir,  :
  values for symbols PKGVERSION are not single strings

Could you please help me?Thanks in advance!

Hi,

This error seems to indicate that your seed file is lacking the Version field.

Can't remember whether the source_url or release_date fields are mandatory or not. However these fields are informative only and not used for anything so you can always try to set them to NA or something like that.

Thank you!I did not realize I was missing Version. I was able to build the package by setting the missing fields to pending
