Dear all, I was under the (wrong) impression that experiment data packages would be following the same versioning convention as software with even/odd for release/devel branches.
You're right! This is what we should have done: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2014-April/005452.html And it seems that we actually did this for the previous BioC release (BioC 2.14) back in April.
Would this be something that others would find useful?
Now that we have branches for experiment data packages, I think it's more important than before that we follow this even/odd versioning convention. That way the maintainers have "room" to bump the version of their package in release, i.e. they can bump the version of their package in release without the need to re-use a version number that is already (or has already been) used by the devel version of their package. I don't think it's worth fixing in release but we should probably bump y in devel.
I have bumped y in devel for the data/experiment packages. My apologies for not doing this properly at release time. I've taken some steps to help ensure this doesn't happen again. Note that we are not bumping these numbers in release, so there are still packages with odd 'y'. But in the interests of not triggering large downloads for all users and mirrors, we are holding off. The data experiment builds will run again on Saturday after which the repository should reflect the bumping I just did in svn. Dan
