Hi Britta,
You could use submodules in git. I took some time to create an example use case
for you, at
https://github.com/nturaga/main_repository
The “main_repository” contains a README.md file which you might find useful to
go about creating the submodule for your packages/
The example there, shows,
main_repository, (parent repo) located at
https://github.com/nturaga/main_repository
submodule_one (as submodule) located at
https://github.com/nturaga/submodule_one
To give you a gist of what you could do:
Main repository is “MOFA_main”, located at https://github.com/bioFAM/MOFA_main
submodule 1: MOFA software package located at
https://github.com/bioFAM/MOFA
submodule 2: MOFA data package located at
https://github.com/bioFAM/MOFAdata
They would both live in the MOFA_main repository but would act as submodules
within their own independent repos. This will allow you to submit from their
separate repos.
https://github.com/nturaga/main_repository/blob/master/README.md gives you
details on how to create submodules, if you need any assistance. But, I’ll
highlight some steps,
Step 0: Rename the main MOFA directory which already exists to MOFA_main.
Step 1: Create two new repos in the bioFAM username, with MOFA, and MOFAdata.
Step 2: Create submodules in MOFA_main,
git submodule init
git submodule add g...@github.com:bioFAM/MOFA MOFA
git submodule add g...@github.com:bioFAM/MOFAdata MOFAdata
Step 3: Add the submodules to MOFA_main
git commit -m “Add MOFA and MOFAdata as submodules”.
The “.gitmodules” should show,
$ cat .gitmodules
[submodule “MOFA"]
path = MOFA
url = g...@github.com:bioFAM/MOFA
[submodule “MOFAdata”]
path = MOFAdata
url = g...@github.com:bioFAM/MOFAdata
But to answer your question, bioconductor doesn’t have a way to submit multiple
packages from within one repository.
I can assist you in creating submodules, and submitting the repos as required
to Bioconductor. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please check the
example and the documentation I wrote up in the README.md at
https://github.com/nturaga/main_repository.
Best,
Nitesh
