Thanks, Sean. Yes, it's all there at the low level, but unless we expect the user to interact only with the command-line, we need a GUI, and we should probably just defer to github on that. Pre-population of the issue with sessionInfo, possibly the last error message/traceback, would be a reasonabl

I like the idea about extracting important environmental information. Possibly the function that browses to the bug tracker could print out the sessionInfo for copy/paste. It is tempting to push the automation further, e.g. talking to github via a web API to pre-populate, but it's a slippery slope

The CRAN page for a package also includes the BugReports field (besides the URL field), and I believe that is certainly a better link for bug reporting purposes. Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie Web: http://yihui.name On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 2:58 PM, Dan Tenenbaum wrote: > > > - Original Messag

Yea, but I was thinking a formal field for the bug tracker (like IssueTracker), for the sake of clarity. The package page could somehow highlight it to keep people from missing it. And maybe even an automated way from within R to browse to the tracker URL. On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 12:58 PM, Dan T

To support the decentralized model, it would be nice to have a standard way of directing users to the right bug tracker. Perhaps this could be specified as a URL in the DESCRIPTION and the Bioc package page could link to it. On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 12:42 PM, Kasper Daniel Hansen < kasperdanielhan

2014-05-23 Thread Kasper Daniel Hansen
I want to remind some posters in this thread that most Bioconductor packages are being developed by non-overlapping sets of people and that it is therefore not clear at all that a common bug tracker across the project is necessary (says the person who has definitely "lost" bugs reported per email).

Michael, Well, BioC has many suggestions and requirements for how packages are to be constructed, documented, and deployed. http://www.bioconductor.org/developers/package-guidelines/ The only thing about bugs is: Response to bug reports and questions from users regarding your package as posted

I’m also having issues with my bridges. It seems that they always “die" after the initial sync (which for me is always a Git win). After awhile when I commit again to GitHub, nothing happens on the SVN, and I end up deleting the bridges and re-creating them. This always does the trick, but when

Do we really need a centralized bug-tracker or would it be best to leave that to the individual packages, e.g., using the github tracker via the github-svn-bridge? Many are probably already doing that. Michael On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 11:16 AM, Cook, Malcolm wrote: > Martin, > > I'm sure you'r
