[Bioc-devel] GitHub and svn

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Not at the moment.  We are in the (long) process of changing this, but
there is no ETA for it.

The complications we currently have, as soon as a package is accepted in
Bioconductor, is that the "true" repository then becomes Bioconductor SVN
and your Github repository is just a way for you to develop.  This is not
the case during package submission.

Best,
Kasper
