# BiocBuildReporter


The BiocBuildReporter package provides access to years of Bioconductor build
system data, representing a comprehensive record of package builds across:

- **Thousands of packages** in the Bioconductor ecosystem
- **Multiple R versions** spanning several years of development
- **Multiple platforms** including Linux, macOS, and Windows
- **Different build stages** (install, build, check)

The Bioconductor build system runs regularly, testing all packages to ensure
they meet quality standards and work correctly across different platforms. This
dataset captures the results of these builds, including:

- Build status (OK, WARNING, ERROR, TIMEOUT)
- Package version information
- Git commit information
- Maintainer details
- Propagation status to the community

This package provides functions to explore and analyze this rich dataset to
understand:

- Package build history and stability
- Platform-specific issues
- Package growth over time
- Common failure patterns

Please see vignette for detailed examples.
