[Bioc-devel] monocle package on Bioconductor

[Nitesh Turaga]

Hi,

As the error message says, there is a version number issue. You can only bump the ‘patch’ version i.e x.y.z -> x.y.z+1.

You cannot bump the “minor” version number.

Please send these questions to bioc-deve using r-project.org, where there is a community to help you.

I see that the existing head on the master branch has a version that's recommended, or perhaps required, for a develop branch. So I tried increasing the version to an even number for y but I get the above error.
