22 Build / Check / BiocCheck

All new packages submitted are checked against the current Bioconductor devel version. Bioconductor versions are closely associated with a specific R version. The submitter should ensure the package is built and checked against the appropriate version.

The package should R CMD build, R CMD check, and BiocCheck without ERROR. See useful tools like devools and BiocCheck for more information.

As Bioconductor moves towards integration with R-universe, it is also possible to set up a GitHub Action to mimic the submission process environment. You will need to ensure your repository settings have GitHub actions enabled. The process for setting up the workflow to run build, check and BiocCheck in github actions is documented on the R-Universe help page section for Bioconductor and R-universe
