[PATCH 0/7] Add bioconductor package creation tools.

[Roel Janssen]

Dear Guix,

In the following patch series I add packages to do package development
for Bioconductor.  They have a couple of tools to perform extra checks
to ensure Bioconductor packages work together well.

Since I am trying to add a package to Bioconductor, I need these
packages in GNU Guix.  I've been using them for a couple of days and
it seems to work fine.

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

The packages look straightforward to me.

My only suggestion would be to change the descriptions to begin with
"$package is a ..." rather than "This package ...". I think it's useful
to have the package name in the description. Perhaps some of the
descriptions could give more detail, but I'm not familiar with this
software, so I can't say.

I think that if they are working for you, you've done a license audit,
and they pass `guix lint`, then they are okay.
