[Bioc-devel] How to move package from workflow to software

[Turaga, Nitesh]

Hi Julien,

After re-considering how this package should go forward. Please submit your package to the  https://github.com/Bioconductor/Contributions. This will put your package through the Single Package Builder which will help us review your package better.

There have been significant code changes which are better managed and reviewed via that process. 


Best,

Nitesh
