[Bioc-devel] Package Home Pages

[Patrick Aboyoun]

I just modified the build system to add "Bioconductor Changelog" links 
to the "Multiple platform build/check report" pages. To see an example 
of these links go to

http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.2/bioc-LATEST/

and look for the Bioconductor Changelog links. Similar links will be 
added to the BioC 2.3 report when it is created later tonight.

Given that the changelog is geared towards developers, I did not include 
a link in the package home pages that Wolfgang referred to because it 
could fall into the category of too much information for a general user 
of the package. If the Bioconductor development community believes we 
should include a link on the package home pages as well, I will add 
them. It doesn't take much effort to change the infrastructure.


Cheers,
Patrick
