[Bioc-devel] Removed packages and package landing pages

Hi, Dan.

A user asked me a question about the DnaseR package.  It appears to have
been removed from Bioc?  Where would I find that out?  What is the behavior
of the release/devel pages if a package has been previously removed?

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

For your first question, you can always look at the release announcement,
all the way at the bottom: http://bioconductor.org/news/bioc_3_1_release/.
That's a bit hands-on, as you sometimes have to go back several releases to
see when it got removed, so hopefully Dan has a more reasonable approach.

Hi,

Would be great if the search tool on the upper right corner could be
used for that. Unfortunately right now if I search for DnaseR it
returns many invalid links.

Thanks,
H.
