Parse the Build Report tarball for a Bioconductor release

This function parses the Build Report tarball for a Bioconductor release. By default it will pull all the report.tgz files for each Bioconductor package type. The Bioconductor Build System (BBS) Build Report tarball contains build status information for all packages in a Bioconductor release. This function is mainly used by biocBuildReport().

  stage.timings = FALSE
)
