Hi,

I'm the new maintainer of the groHMM package which is having issues in its build.

In that view I would like to update the package but it won't allow me since my email is not on file with the maintainer of bioconductor package.

Can you please list the steps to have me listed as a maintainer and update the package on bioconductor/git.

Let me know.

Regards,

Tulip.

a few points:

Normally only one person has maintainer access to a package this currently was Anusha Nagari <anusha.nagari at utsouthwestern.edu>.  Should they also retain maintainer access?

Anusha was assigned because that is who is listed with Authors at R.  You currently have a mixure of using Authors at R and Maintainer/Author field.  Please remove Author/Maintainer fields and only use Authors at R.

In a normal procedure the currently listed maintainer would request the switch or additional access.  Since I see you listed in the Maintainer field, we can ignore this step for this situation. I will need to create an account on our GitCredentials where you can manage your ssh keys for access.  We can link a github account for access.  Do you have a personal github account you would like associated with; if so please provide your github username?

Cheers,

Hi Kern,

Anusha no longer is associated with the lab. So I will need to have access to the package. If you can create an account on GitCredentials that would be great.

I do have a github account.  tulipnandu is the username.

tulipnandu has 10 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.
github.com
Also I would need to push the changes in the src file to master on bioconductor/git. If I can get some help with that, it would be great too.

Regards,

Tulip.

If that means Anusha is no longer going to maintain the package, then 
their role in Authors at R would need to be switched from "cre" to "aut" or 
"ctb" or whatever is appropriate.

As Lori said, the Maintainer and Author fields should get removed, and 
your name and role moved to the Authors at R field.

Thanks,

H.

I will create your git credentials account and send you the temporary password in a private email.  Please do as Herve says by altering the DESCRIPTION and pushing to git.bioconductor.org.

You will be responsible for pushing the changes to git.bioconductor.org.  You can find many details at
https://contributions.bioconductor.org/git-version-control.html

Most immediately helpful will probably be the following for assistance setting up remotes:
