[Bioc-devel] Version number error

This seems like a bug in the version check code.

The next number after '999' is '1000', but '9991' is larger than '999', too, so I think both 1000 and 9991 are valid version bumps; '10' is less than '999' so is not a valid version bump.

Note that .99... has no special significance in the third position (your package will be bumped to 1.8.0 in release / 1.9.0 in devel at the next release regardless...) so one would usually only get to '999' if one were a very 'commit'ed person... ;)

    This is just the update in the normal way to github, see the below code.
    
    Please note the change from '1.7.999' to '1.7.10' as requested by Lori
    unfortunately gives the same error message as before. Previously I tried
    version 1.7.9991 which didn't work.
    
    Any ideas? What is the correct version number to change to?
    
    Thanks,
