In Liubuntu/BiocPkgTools: Collection of simple tools for learning about Bioc Packages

Description

Bioconductor has a rich ecosystem of metadata around packages, usage, and build status. This package is a simple collection of functions to access that metadata from R. The goal is to expose metadata for data mining and value-added functionality such as package searching, text mining, and analytics on packages.

For developers

The biocBuildReport function returns a computable form of the Bioconductor Build Report.

For users

The biocDownloadStats function gets Bioconductor download stats, allowing users to quickly find commonly used packages. The biocPkgList is useful for getting a complete listing of all Bioconductor packages.

Infrastructure

Bioconductor packages all have Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). This package contains basic infrastructure for creating, updating, and de-referencing DOIs.
