Hi Nitesh,
You helped me to fix a problem with the monocle package about a year ago. I fixed another problem recently and I appear to have created a mess with the version in the DESCRIPTION file, which prevents me from pushing the change to the Bioconductor git repository.
I have looked at the online information for Bioconductor package submitters/maintainers and I find myself confused.
The error that the repository returns is
$ git push origin master

I notice that the online documentation refers to a develop branch but the repository has no develop branch, and I believe that I want to push the changes to the master branch anyway. I see that the existing head on the master branch has a version that's recommended, or perhaps required, for a develop branch. So I tried increasing the version to an even number for y but I get the above error.
Are you in a position to assist me? If so, are you willing to assist me?
I apprciate your patience and guidance.
Thank you.
Ever grateful,
Brent
