Hi all, I've drafted a how-to/guidelines for package maintainers wanting to make bug fixes to the current Bioc release. The page is: http://bioconductor.fhcrc.org/developers/devwiki/UpdateReleaseBranchHowTo I would like to solicit comments on the guidelines (and the how to) between now and Friday (Nov 11). - Are the guidelines agreeable? - Are important details missing? - Are the instructions clear? Thanks, + seth
[Bioc-devel] RFC: Guidelines for updating the release branch
3 messages · James W. MacDonald, Seth Falcon
Seth, Seems good to me, except for one thing - I don't know if you can assume that everybody will know how to grep out the packages that depend on their package. It might be worth it to give an idea how this might be accomplished. Best, Jim

Good point. Perhaps this is something we need to precompute, since it won't change for a given release. + seth
