[Bioc-devel] Do we have an unpacked archive for BioC, so that we can URL link to individual files ?

So, what if there was a MetaBioconductor site and repo similar to the
MetaCRAN project? https://www.r-pkg.org/about

Not sure exactly who maintains it (probably someone at RStudio), but it is
largely automatic I believe, and it provides a full GitHub archive of *all*
the packages on CRAN, which if this were done for Bioconductor would
satisfy what I think Steffen is looking for, as well as lots of other
advantages.

It also has the advantage that it looks like 90% of the work would be done
for Bioconductor with likely very little work required for the Bioconductor
Admins (ideally 100% of work would be done for them).

Just a thought.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. - Ronald Fisher
