I can only encourage you to keep track of the most significant changes
in your package in its NEWS file, especially if its history is a little
bit complicated as it seems to be the case here. Briefly explaining the
motivations behind those changes is a good idea.
Cheers,
H.

OK...1.98.0 and 1.99.0 sounds good. Shall do that.
Is it necessary to convey the reasons for the change e.g. NEWS file ?
That's my last question...I hope !

Ah ok. Yes 1.99.0 is fine. Then the package will be released as 2.0.0
in Fall as part of BioC 3.8.
Not that version numbers have a strong meaning but I was thinking that
maybe you could bump to 1.98.0 in release to sort of indicate the fact
that the package in release is the precursor of what's going to become
2.0.0 in the next release. If 1.98.0 works as expected, you should
freeze it i.e. only touch it when you absolutely need to fix something
in it.
Hope this helps,
H.

Thanks, I shall do that. Its OK to keep the master as 1.99.0 ?
It should probably have been 1.19.1 ?

Hi,
Having a package that is known to be broken in release is not
really an option.
How about replacing all the files in the RELEASE_3_7 branch
with what's in the master branch. For the version, just bump
z (in x.y.z) to its next version. Don't touch x or y. So the
version would become 1.18.1 in release. Then commit (it's going
to be a single commit) with a commit message that says
something
like "Resync with master branch".
Cheers,
H.

Hi,
I am maintainer of package ASSET. We have recently
discovered
some issues
(most importantly computational speed issues) with recent
versions of our
package and wanted to revert the code to an older
version ASSET
v 1.8.0
present in Bioconductor release 3.2, before proceeding
to make
further
enhancements to the package.
In release 3.3 , there were major changes to the
package, it is
like a
branch that we now realize that we need to abandon. We had
introduced a new
feature and for that we switched from deterministic p-value
calculation to
stochastic calculation. We did not notice the issues
untill now.
We want to
switch back to the deterministic one, which was present
last in 3.2.
As suggested by Nitesh, I have made the changes in
devel branch
(basically
by copying the code as it was in release 3.2, and only
updating the
DESCRIPTION file make the version 1.99.0 as this will
be a major
change
(although we are taking a few steps back, we will
probably add
some steps
forward before release 3.8).
I wanted to put a .onAttach() message in the current
version to
make the
user aware of the issues and possibly mentioning the next
release and/or
pointing to the older release. However, as Herve
has pointed out, people may mix up devel and release
versions
causing
problems. Hence Herve had suggested:
"It will be much better if you actually fix the release
version
of your
package. This should just be a matter of porting the
fixes you
do in devel
with 'git cherry-pick'."
Reason I am hesitating is that the changes (diff of 3.7
and 3.2)
are quite
a lot and doing selective changes as suggested will
introduce
further bugs,
and even after selection these changes will be *many*.
Is it ok
to backport
a "patch" to the release with a large number of
changes? If yes,
what
should the version number be bumped to?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
