[Bioc-devel] Import Deadlines for RELEASE

[Shepherd, Lori]

Some Important Release Deadlines are fast approaching.  See also the release schedule online(http://bioconductor.org/developers/release-schedule/)

The last day for any NEW package to be accepted and released under Bioc 3.10 is this Wed. October 23th.  Packages accepted after this day will remain in Bioconductor devel and included in the Bioc 3.11 release in spring.


This Friday October 25th is the last recommended day to commit changes (documentation , bug fixes, etc) to the devel branch. This is to allow all changes to propagate and build on the build system prior to branching. The branch will be frozen and branched on Tuesday October 29 th making Monday October 28th the absolute last day to push changes.  All packages should be passing building and check without ERROR and WARNINGS by Friday October 25th.  If a package is failing across all three platforms the package will be considered for deprecation depending on the length and severity of the ERRORS.


If anyone has any questions of concerns please feel free to ask.

Thank you.
