[Bioc-devel] patch old releases? e.g. RELEASE_3_8

[Ashley Waardenberg]

Is it possible to patch/update older BioC release versions of
packages? E.g. for compatibility with older R version/BioC
combinations. Or are these left behind?

>From point 17 (https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/faq/) it
appears not? I.e. Can I create and push new branches to my repository
on git.bioconductor.org? No. Maintainers only have access to master
and the current RELEASE_X_Y.

Cheers,
Ash
