How to uninstall

[lgatto]

It would be useful to provide instructions as to how to uninstall bioc2u.

What should I do if I break my installation (see for instance #2)? These would give confidence to alpha testers.

I'll add some documentation, but here is the gist in the meantime:

bspm::disable() would break the install.packages() link. If you want to remove the CRAN/Bioc repositories added by the script rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cranapt.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cran-r.list /etc/apt/preferences.d/99cranapt /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bioc2u.list, and you may want to remove bspm lines sed -i '/bspm/d' ${RHOME}/etc/Rprofile.site or remove rm ${RHOME}/etc/Rprofile.site (depending on whether you had things added to it before). I am not sure how to advise on recovering an old R generally, as it depends on what previous installation you had. The script installs R (which I will highlight more prominently). We are building on top of r-base-core from https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu. Happy to talk over slack and try to figure out what is best for your machine

good point, apt uninstall should do what is necessary, but could other components be disturbed? i think so. BTW I have seen the dbus related error, not clear how I got around it ... it might be appropriate to comment out part of the relevant installation script.
