[Bioc-devel] Reverting on the 'master' branch

[Martin Morgan]

Once a version has been made 'public', it's not possible to go backward -- R will say 'hey, you've got version 1.99.0 installed, so that's more recent than 1.13.0, so I won't update it'. So you're stuck with the version going forward.

    Hi Roel,
    
    I think at this point it makes sense to move forward. It is more trouble than it's worth to do "hard resets" and then edit version numbers manually. 
    
    Or another thing you could do is, roll out some big changes before the next release ;) 
    
    Best,
