[Bioc-devel] Multiple projects for submission to Bioconductor

[Brian Schilder]

Hi Ali,

I�d just like to add that biocthis is great if you�d like to have use static workflow file. But if you�re looking for something that is centrally maintained (ie an action) without you having to update your workflow file each time there�s an update or bug fix, you can use rworkflows:
https://github.com/neurogenomics/rworkflows/

Best,
Brian

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed response. I�ll make sure I dot all the I�s and
cross all the T�s. I�ll also reach out to the author of Biocthis to cross
verify things.

Looking forward to the submission process and thank you and the
bioconductor team for this amazing service.
