  Description     : GNU R client to access AnnotationHub resources
 This package provides a client for the Bioconductor AnnotationHub web
 resource. The AnnotationHub web resource provides a central location
 where genomic files (e.g., VCF, bed, wig) and other resources from
 standard locations (e.g., UCSC, Ensembl) can be discovered. The resource
 includes metadata about each resource, e.g., a textual description,
 tags, and date of modification. The client creates and manages a local
 cache of files retrieved by the user, helping with quick and
 reproducible access.


Remark: This package belongs to a set of new dependencies to update
BioConductor packages in Debian.  It will be maintained by the Debian Med
