[Bioc-devel] Question regarding pruning release of large files

[Mike Smith]

Hi Saskia,

There's some documentation on this at
https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/remove-large-data/

I guess the most pertinent part is "The Bioconductor git server does not
allow -f or to force push to the git.bioconductor.org location. Please
email bioc-devel using r-project.org explaining the package has been cleaned for
large data files and needs to be reset.".  Seems like you've done the
emailing part, so I'm sure someone will be in touch soon.

Mike
