Better repository recovery for BioC packages #1215

Closed hadley closed 1 year ago

Need a better fallback if repos does not include the Bioc repos. Worth exploring the git_branch field as discussed in https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocManager/issues/164

Can you elaborate a bit more? renv tries to be "smart" about adding the Bioconductor repositories when required, e.g. in a call to renv::install("bioc::Biobase").

Hmmmm, I can't seem to recreate the problem, so I think this must be some artefact of how was installing packages and setting up a test case for rsconnect.
