Hi,

If one wanted to move some code from an existing Bioconductor package into its own, separate package for ease of maintenance, would that constitute a new package submission with the full review process? Or is there some expedited submission available?

We are refactoring the GENESIS package and debating whether to move the low-level statistical testing code into a different package (which GENESIS would then import). As I see it, pros include easier maintenance and testing, and the potential value of the stats package to other users and developers who might not want to import the entire GDS framework that GENESIS uses. Cons include the overhead of submitting, writing vignettes, etc. for a set of functions that are meant to be used internally.

What are other pros and cons of this approach (versus just keeping everything in one big package)?

thanks,
Stephanie
