[Bioc-devel] Best practice on commit

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi,

Just to clarify, all software packages are built and checked every
night, independently of whether their version got bumped or not.
The version bump only allows the modified package to propagate
to the public repo and become available via biocLite(), possibly
replacing the previous version of the package (if one is already
available).

The package landing page on the website should reflect what's in
the public repo for a given BioC version at any time (the landing
pages can lag behind by about 20 min which is the time it takes
to regenerate all the package landing pages after the daily package
propagation).

Cheers,
H.

If they do want that level of detail, that information is available directly from the repository. And from my perspective, I definitely wanted to bump the version for at least the test fix and the bug fix, to make sure that the server-side tests were run.
