[Bioc-devel] downloads number status shields for packages

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi,

The download report is actually about to change. See:

   https://bioconductor.org/packages/new-stats/bioc/Biobase/

for how the new stats are going to look. This is work in progress (ETA
is next week) but an important change is that you'll be able to get the
numbers from tabulated files (e.g. the Biobase_<year>_stats files in the
case of Biobase) so parsing HTML won't be necessary.

Cheers,
H.
