[Bioc-devel] taking over package, fixing build error

[Evan Biederstedt]

Hi BioConductor devel community

(Apologies if these are obvious questions; I haven't quite grokked the
answers from the documentation.)

I'm someone who has submitted in the past to CRAN, but this is my first
rodeo with Bioconductor. Please be patient with me :)

I'm taking over as a maintainer for this package:
https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/scde.html

There was an issue with the compilation of scde (related to C++17 and
deprecated C++ function).
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.17/bioc-mac-arm64-LATEST/scde/kjohnson2-checksrc.html

I think I've fixed this. So I pushed changes on the `devel` branch in the
repo from```git clone git using git.bioconductor.org:packages/scde```, following
the instructions here:
https://contributions.bioconductor.org/git-version-control.html

My question is, how do BioConductor developers normally check that this
works? My understanding is that one waits for 24 hours for the packages to
be re-built, and then developers check the URL here:
https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.17/bioc-mac-arm64-LATEST/scde/kjohnson2-checksrc.html

Is there any other way to double check that the commits fix the issue?
“devtools::check_max_release()” but this often struggles with bioconductor
packages

Thank you for the help!
Best, Evan
