Dear All,
I hope this is the right platform to post my question: I am currently
trying to update my package on the devel branch. It is available via a
GitHub repo. I followed the instructions (
http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git-mirror/) and can
commit/push
to GitHub, but when I switch to the devel branch and want to push
again, I
am "unable to access
'https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/covRNA.git/': The
requested URL returned error: 403". However, I can access the URL via
browser. Does someone know what is going wring there? Please let me
know if
you need further information.
Hi Lara -- I'm not really an expert on this so hopefully someone else
will chime in.
This
https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/covRNA.git
is a read-only mirror of the svn repository; you should not be able to
commit to it, and the instructions should not have lead you to need to
commit to it.
You should be doing the following on your own repository
git checkout devel
git svn rebase
git merge master --log
git svn dcommit
maybe you could provide (cut and paste) the transcript of a session
where you try do this. Also, it might help with diagnostics to report
git remove -v
git svn info
again from within your cloned repository.
In off-list discussion Lara indicated that the next problem was the error

this could be a problem on our end (e.g., misconfigured permissions) but
it turned out that Lara needed to specify the username and password of
the SVN account sent when the package was accepted, along the lines of
git svn --username=<SVN user name> dcommit --add-author-from
Lara then indicated that
Thanks a lot, it seems to have worked with adding just the username
(and typing the password in afterwards). The versions on
https://github.com/LaraUrban/covRNA and
https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/covRNA are the same now.
May I further ask how it long it will take until the new version is
downloadable via biocLite? Currently, it is still the old version.
and the answer is that the 'devel' branch is built approximately every
two days, and successful builds are pushed to the repos after that. The
builds are summarized at

Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Lara
