[Bioc-devel] BiocCheck error

Or: you could just rename your NPS repo -> BioTIP and recreate a very 
simple NPS repo that contains only a README.md file that says:

   This repository has been moved to 
https://github.com/xyang2uchicago/BioTIP

That kind of redirect should be OK from the grant submission perspective.

Once the package is accepted, change 'upstream' to git using git.bioconductor.org:pacakges/BioTIP and delete github/user/BioTIP. Continue to push to upstream and remote, to keep the public github and canonical bioconductor repositories in sync.

It seems not to be an issue that you as developer need to worry  about, provided you are confident that you are using current packages.
