Hi Conrad, Sorry to hear you’ve had such a hard time with the Bioconductor GIT ecosystem. Please keep in mind that for a new build to be triggered you have to update the version number in the DESCRIPTION file of the package( The “x.y.z” version format needs the “z” to be incremented ).
Also, I highly encourage you to email the bioc-devel@r-project.org<mailto:bioc-devel@r-project.org> mailing list where other people can help you more readily. Best, Nitesh From: Conrad Burden <conrad.bur...@anu.edu.au> Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 10:16 PM To: "Turaga, Nitesh" <nitesh.tur...@roswellpark.org> Subject: Re: MPFE Bioconductor package Dear Nitesh, I have spent some considerable time trying to fix the MPFE package which I inherited from dead colleagues. I was easily able to determine that the fix required to the R source code is a trivial one line change. By contrast I have spent at least a week of my valuable time tryng to get the fix into your system using the available online instructions. It is no exaggeration to say has been a stressful and unpleasant experience. With help from colleagues who understand github, yesterday I finally managed to get something uploaded using instructions at https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1_lTlsPGdiweUgsTA1ZSetCA6Wa7Cx0nRRhn-KMD9QOgfthLn1yQMkxrS8lEIYgyLi6eDkxv4Wm8hJ2ip-Z4qgfVJPc6238pgfe6HqXcyA1_S1ku06TrAYNPKiMfHXlMv2KBdkHrqtAz9dXO_t-wzGY5K_p4uIqEA2VUJOpkHGqQzblgjAapiGRVkGHTp_Pff7SfT8fLkVSZ-AfrIXkpVKEevWX4s3g_4SaHC9_TQUaZsgQncY9BeXNHVrjcEBmhQ2RKHzJs0kvsR8redxDy6l7EF8MaBty9sjZkZQSrE0pzAUBk_QdV89XPPG0jeVaciSlTIz36WWSvFao4fdAMh3drpFUCZRbh-f5sivj7HEWo/https%3A%2F%2Fbioconductor.org%2Fdevelopers%2Fhow-to%2Fgit%2F>.

Unfortunately we are not able to devote time towards individual packages, but we can deprecate the package and un-deprecate it at a later time when the issues are fixed (whenever you have some time to look at it). This is not an issue in anyway. For now, we will go ahead and deprecate this.

I was involved in the development of this package 6 years ago with 3 colleagues, two of whom I am sorry to say are now deceased, and one of whom is no longer working in academia or bioinformatics. Although I developed the theory behind this package and wrote some of the R code, I generally left the Bioconductor side of things to my colleagues. I am almost entirely ignorant of the use of Github to the extent of not even understanding the phrase "committing and pushing changes to your package”. Also, my research has moved on to other areas of applied mathematics. It is possible that I could return to this one day and sort it out. For the time being however, I am extremely busy with running a lecture course remotely from home and trying to meet a deadline for resubmitting a paper. Unless someone at your end is able to sort out the problem, I’m sorry to say we are just going to have to leave it go at least for the time being. Very best regards, Conrad.
