[Bioc-devel] Diverging version numbering on Bioconductor RELEASE

[Mike Smith]

Personally I do as Steffen mentioned, and grab the upstream changes
manually.  Changes not introduced by me only happen once every 6 months,
and I'm involved enough with Bioconductor that I generally know when the
release and version bump has occurred, so it's never quite felt like enough
work to implement an automatic workflow.  I think I'm just as likely to
forget to put the changes from GitHub to my local machine, and still end up
with a merge conflict at some point.

However, I think you should be able to use this action from the
marketplace to achieve the automatic syncing without too much work creating
the workflow:

Cheers,
Mike
