Hi,

 

I have a Bioconductor package which depends on R 3.1.1 , so I think I cannot use the “setup_r_environment” trick.

 

I already got a tool_dependency.xml working that installs R 3.1.1 and the necessary Bioconductor packages using bioclite method (see attachment). Now my question is:

 

·         I would like to split up this into two steps as I don’t want to trigger the compilation of new R environment every time I when I need to just update the Bioconductor package....the question is: how to do such things in general? How can I access the INSTALL_DIR of another tool from within another tool_dependency.xml? If I can do this, then my problem is solved.

 

Thanks!
