[Bioc-devel] Updating information on Bioconductor site

Hello,

I was wondering how I can go about updating information on the Bioconductor package landing page. I would like to update the author, summary, and GitHub website address.

Thanks!
John

John,

I think that is all pulled directly from the corresponding sections in the
DESCRIPTION file. So you would have to modify the DESCRIPTION, version
bump, and push the changes up.

After the next build, the changes should propagate to the website.

Note that if you only do this on the master branch, I think the differences
will only appear for development version of the package. But next release
should be coming up in October some time, so that shouldn't be that big a
deal.

Cheers,

Robert

Thanks, Robert,

I have updated the files on master GitHub, merged with upstream/master and pushed to both but I have not seen the website change on Bioconductor in two days. Am I doing something wrong?

I am following these instructions:

https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/sync-existing-repositories/

Thanks for your help!
John

John, is your new version number reflected on the devel version of the
package landing page and the build report? After you push a new version
number to master, it will propagate the next day after overnight
building/testing.

AFAIK, there are only a few explanations for why git pushes do not show up
on the package landing page (have I missed any?):

1. You didn't actually push to the relevant branch at git.bioconductor.org
(e.g. you pushed to GitHub only, or pushed to master but checked the
release landing page)

2. You didn't bump the version number

3. There was an error in the package build

4. You haven't waited until the next day for software packages, or for the
twice a week builds of experimental data packages

5. Occasionally, there is a problem with the build systems that affects
many packages

maybe useful to remember that the build report is at

   http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/plotGrouper/

(replace 'devel' with 'release' for the release branch).

Thanks, I used the link you provided to the build report and it seems that the information did push through.

Best,
John

If the build report shows the right version, and the page doesn't appear to
be updated (make sure you are checking development page), try a hard
refresh on the page to make sure browser isn't using a cached version (I
think it is Ctrl+shift+F5 on chrome).
