[Bioc-devel] Okay to push a hotfix for an existing release?

[Marcel Ramos]

Hi Pariksheet,

Thanks for pointing this out.
I have created an issue regarding this scenario here: 
https://github.com/Bioconductor/pkgrevdocs/issues/130
and we will add more details at https://contributions.bioconductor.org

To answer your question, yes, the package should be updated in the 
release and devel branches so that it remains functional.

Best regards,

Marcel

Specifically, the web server that JASPAR2024 relies on has changed and the old server SSL certificate expired on 2024-08-31 that breaks the package. It would be great if someone could confirm it's okay to apply the bug fix outside of the typical release cycle to the current release branch. I don't see this hotfix edge case in the general contributor guidelines [2] though of course I may have overlooked it mentioned elsewhere.
