[Bioc-devel] r+w permissions in release branches

[Alejandro Reyes]

Dear Dan, Dear developers list,

Due a recent change in one cran package, DEXSeq 1.8.0 (for the R version 
3.0.*) stop working. I fixed this conflict in the release branch of 
bioconductor and tried to commit my changes. But I don't seem to have 
write access, e.g:

$ svn ci --username a.reyes -m "fixed conflicts with newest version of 
cran package"
Sending        DESCRIPTION
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: access to 
'/bioconductor/!svn/ver/81643/branches/RELEASE_2_13/madman/Rpacks/DEXSeq/DESCRIPTION' 
forbidden

I  also noticed that I also don't have read access...

svn co --username a.reyes 
https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/branches/RELEASE_2_13/madman/Rpacks/DEXSeq
svn: access to 
'https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/branches/RELEASE_2_13/madman/Rpacks/DEXSeq' 
forbidden

I was wondering if this intentional? If so, what would be the way to 
solve this kind of problems (e.g. a dependency changing outside 
bioconductor that breaks previous versions of a bioconductor package)?

Best regards,
Alejandro
