AFAIU, the exact commit-specific version of R-devel used on your devel build server changes occasionally within Bioc releases, and we'd like to mirror those changes on our system. Is there a set schedule for when the exact commit of R-devel on your build server changes?
No. We do it in response to the following events: - significant changes in the R code - "seems like a while since we last updated R" - milestones leading up to release (release candidates, alpha, beta, etc). You could scrape the build report daily to see if the version of R has changed. Also, do you guys grab them as tarballs, or
checkout/update from the svn?
Tarballs. Dan
