[Bioc-devel] Git lfs support

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Anatoly,

What kind of data is in your SQLite database? The Bioconductor approach 
for this is to provide the data as a separate data annotation or data 
experiment package. More precisely, the data itself should go on 
AnnotationHub or ExperimentHub. It should be associated with a "Hub 
package", that is, a data package that documents it and explains how to 
retrieve it from AnnotationHub or ExperimentHub. See vignettes in the 
HubPub package for more information:

   http://bioconductor.org/packages/HubPub

Best,

H.
