The next Bioconductor release will follow on the transition of
R-release/R-patched to
the 3.2.x series.

The current R-devel, 3.2.x, will be the released version in a couple of
weeks.  That is
what folks will have to use to get your package in the release version.
Those using
R-devel later on can get the devel version of your package as it evolves.

Some relevant concepts are at

http://master.bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/version-numbering/

but ... there is likely a more transparent discussion of the release/devel
distinctions
somewhere that I am not finding currently.  If questions remain please let
us know.
