[Bioc-devel] reverting to a previous version

Thanks Herv?,

I am sorry I am not familiar with the Bioconductor git system. Could 
you please advise the code I should use to revert to the last working 
version? Thanks!
I'm not a git expert so maybe others have a better way to do this.

I would just identify the commit you want to revert (the fact that all 
the recent commit messages are "commit" won't necessarily help), then 
revert it with:

 ? git revert <commit>

If you need to revert more than 1 commit, revert them in reverse 
chronological order.

This is just standard git stuff.

The only part that is specific to Bioconductor is that you need to 
finish the sequence with an additional commit that bumps the version to 
1.35.2.

Hope this helps,

H.

Best,
Jason

    Yes but only for the master branch (BioC 3.16). The RELEASE_3_15
    branch
    got frozen recently and can no longer be touched.

    Also package versions can only go up. Note that the current devel
    version of? TSCAN (1.35.1) never got published (i.e. it didn't
    propagate), so, technically, you won't need to bump the version after
    you fix the package. Even though it wouldn't hurt to do so (i.e.
    to bump
    to 1.35.2).

    Cheers,

    H.
