Hi,
I�ve been further going through the �developer resources� as my package just
got accepted. And I have few things to ask/confirm.
1. About the versioning scheme (x, y, z). Can we increment �z� by 1 for
multiple commits? Does the scheme imply that we only change �z� unless the
package has major changes and we bump �x� by setting �y� to 99?
2. Speaking of major changes, are we allowed to add/remove dependencies in
the later version of our package? Like when re-implementing the functionalities.
3. Deprecating/removing a function takes three release cycles but what about
adding new functions and making changes to internal functions? Any rules to
apply?
4. For the remote repo host by Bioconductor, I understand that we have
access to �devel� and �release� branches which are master and RELEASE_X_Y so to
speak. We can create new features on �devel� branch but only bug fix is allowed
for �release�. Am I right on this?
5. I now only have �devel� branch available and the build report claims
good. Will my package be �kicked out� if the new commits I make fail the build
before the release?
Point me out if I got anything wrong. It�s exciting to be able to make
contributions to Bioconductor and I want to make my package better, starting by
learning the policies.
Regards,
Chengyang
