[Bioc-devel] update an existing package in Subversion version control

[Francesco Del Carratore]

Hi Valerie,
Thank you very much for your answer.
yes this is an existing package, it is called RankProd.
The code it is indeed changed, but the purpose is exactly the same; we just
improved the implementation. I was thinking that it would have been nice to
have a 2.0 at the end of the package, but now that I think about it, it is
probably better to keep the same name.
Best,
Francesco
