[Bioc-devel] change of maintainer and deprecated package to fix

[Nitesh Turaga]

Hi Elena and Matteo,

Matteo, You will gain access to the package once you activate your BiocCredentials account and add your SSH keys (https://git.bioconductor.org/BiocCredentials/account_activation). 

Please change the maintainer (to yourself) in the DESCRIPTION file of the package as soon as you are ready with this change. 

I believe @Lori will be able to answer this question regarding deprecation for you. 

Best,

Nitesh

We have realized that the package is now set as deprecated as it fails to build under macOS. Have I understood correctly that we need to fix the package so that the macOS build passes before the April the 4th for it to remain in Bioconductor?

We would like to fix the build issue and we have a few other changes we'd like to push to the Bioconductor repository as well, in the short-medium term. In order to do this, we would like to change the maintainer from Antonio Colaprico (here in cc) to Matteo Tiberti (also in cc). His details are:
