Hi devs, in attachment a patch for the inclusion of an R/Bioconductor library named "scran" https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/scran.html , scran has a lot of dependencies and I placed those related to bioinformatics/bioconductor into bioinformatics.scm and those related just to R insto statistics.scm. There are a total of 11 new R libraries in this patch and the most complicated is the r-rhdf5 where I had to modify a bit the original installation because it contains a sub_tar_archive ( I had a brief discussion with Rekado on irc - I saw your message/replay today- ). Let me know if this big-patch is acceptable or how do I need to submit it. Thanks a lot. Raoul
