[Bioc-devel] Noticed change of version for some packages in BioC 3.2
Hi Stefano, developers are not supposed to change the package fundamentally in the release branch, however small fixes are allowed to be back-ported and marked by a bump of the last digit: http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/version-numbering/ (E.g. fixing typos in the vignette or updating the citation information) As far as I know, only the url http://bioconductor.org/pckages/<packageName> is stable. Best wishes, Bernd

Hi. Maybe I am getting something wrong, but I am pretty sure I noticed the change of package version for some Bioconductor packages in 3.2 In particular - IRanges_2.4.6.tar.gz \ + IRanges_2.4.8.tar.gz \ - Biostrings_2.38.3.tar.gz \ + Biostrings_2.38.4.tar.gz \ - rtracklayer_1.30.1.tar.gz \ + rtracklayer_1.30.2.tar.gz \ - GenomicFeatures_1.22.12.tar.gz \ + GenomicFeatures_1.22.13.tar.gz \ where [-] indicates what it used to work, [+] what it works right now. For instance, url http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.2/bioc/src/contrib/IRanges_2.4.6.t ar.gz worked a month ago but now it doesn't anymore and url http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.2/bioc/src/contrib/IRanges_2.4.8.t ar.gz works instead I thought that once the package collection have been released (3.2 was released in October) that is frozen forever and changes only happen in the development release. Am I missing something or got something wrong? At what point urls are considered stable? Thank you very much Best wishes Stefano
