[Bioc-devel] Request to reverse package deprecation (and support pushing changes)

[L Rutter]

Good afternoon:

I'm the maintainer for the Bioconductor package "bigPint", located here
<https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/bigPint.html>.

I've recently tried to push changes I made to resolve ERRORS in my package
by the command " git push upstream devel". However, this has led to an
ERROR, which I am pasting beneath my signature below.

I see in Bioc-devel mail archives (here
<https://www.mail-archive.com/bioc-devel@r-project.org/msg14325.html>) that
this error can be something on the Bioconductor developer side. I also see
that my package has been deprecated, and, when seeking support for this
error on the bioc_git Slack channel, it was suggested to me to send a
message here asking for my package to be undeprecated.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for any assistance you can
provide.

Kind regards,
Lindsay
