[Bioc-devel] Workflows are now in git (and other Important workflow-related changes)

[Shepherd, Lori]

For now the page at

https://www.bioconductor.org/help/workflows/

will remain and be updated accordingly however there is discussion about having this page be removed or redirected.


In the next few days I hope to have the new landing pages up and running and will make an announcement when they are live. The new changes involve having a link to the workflows on the biocViews page, that will directly link to a workflow package landing page (like the software, annotation, and experiment package do).


Until the release your changes will be visible in devel which will transition over to the new release just as done for software packages -

The workflow are built monday, wednesday, and friday and the new landing pages will reflect when the package is propagated like the other types of packages.

Thanks everybody, this is much appreciated.

On that note, will the compiled workflows shown at:

https://www.bioconductor.org/help/workflows/

... be updated to reflect changes in the git repositories for the
workflows?

Or will the workflow page just directly link to the landing page for
each package? This would be very convenient, not least because it will
avoid me having to make pull requests to the bioconductor.org
repository every time I want to change my workflow blurb.

I'm in the process of fixing and updating my various workflows, and I'm
wondering when/how my changes will be visible to users.

Cheers,

Aaron
