[Bioc-devel] How to change the name of a package on Bioconductor

[Yu Huihui]

Hello,


I am just following my last email. I find it is a bad way to change package name. An alternative way is to let the link jump to the package webpage, that is both http://bioconductor.org/packages/vasp and http://bioconductor.org/packages/VaSP can jump to http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/vasp.html. Is that possible? Currently the link http://bioconductor.org/packages/VaSP will jump to http://bioconductor.org/about/removed-packages/.  Please give me your suggestions.


Thanks,
Huihui

Subject: [Bioc-devel] How to change the name of a package on Bioconductor



Hello,

I have released a package vasp to&nbsp;Bioconductor (http://bioconductor.org/packages/vasp). Recently I had a manuscript about this package published&nbsp;on New Physiologist (https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.17189). However, on the manuscript, the link to the package is http://bioconductor.org/packages/VaSP. I want to change the name of the package to VaSP from vasp.&nbsp; I changed the package name and updated it in&nbsp;git.bioconductor.org, but the build failed and it said "ERROR&nbsp; (Bad DESCRIPTION file)".&nbsp;


Can I change the name of a package existing on Bioconductor? How can I do that?


Thanks,
Huihui
