[Bioc-devel] Consistency between miRNATarget and MiRaGE

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi tag,

The data-experiment repository doesn't use a trunk/branch organization
like the software repo, so the devel and release builds both point to
trunk. You can see this in the "svn info" box ("URL" field) at the top
of the HTML reports:

   http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.14/data-experiment-LATEST/
   http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.13/data-experiment-LATEST/

It's not a good situation but so far package maintainers were more
or less able to work around this.

Anyway, seems like it's time for us to consider branching the
data-experiment repo. It has actually been requested for a while.
We're working on this and will announce on this list when it's ready.

Cheers,
H.
