Hi.  Is there a way, without using R, to query bioconductor.org (or
any other reliable/maintained resources) for what the current release
version of Bioconductor is?  Something like:

$ curl https://bioconductor.org/api/version
3.6

or possibly something fancy like:

$ curl https://bioconductor.org/api/version.json
{"version":["3.6"],"date":["2017-10-31"],"depends":["R (>= 3.4.2)"]}

Thanks.

Hi Henrik,

Try https://www.bioconductor.org/config.yaml

You should have the essential information in there?

         release_version: "3.6"

Hope this is what you are looking for.
