Re: [Bioc-devel] development vs release version

2015-03-23 Thread Kevin Rue-Albrecht
Hi Dan, all Maybe a silly question, but: where is the R-alpha 3.2.0 ? So far, I have only pushed to the devel branch (3.1.x), hoping that all my commits (most recent: 19 Mar) will be integrated into the release version (3.2.0). This is only my second release cycle. I remember that the first time,

Hi Nate, Thanks a lot for your really quick help, your updated suggestions really work great! I could not yet take advantage from the new version of VariantAnnotation, since the changes have not been propagated to the package archive. It seems that currently many packages are broken, especial

The cited htaccess rule just links the release version of the package. Since this would already be an improvement, it is not sufficient for links in papers. During the production process of the paper we want to link to the accompanying BioC package that is in devel, but not yet in release. Before
