Hi,
I would like to have a URL to individual files
we have in BioC packages. This is useful
e.g. if I need test data from, say, the msdata package,
in another context.
In the SVN days, I was able to point directly
into the SVN repo with readonly:readonly access.
We also had the (now deprecated) way to link to:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bioconductor-mirror/xcms/master/DESCRIPTION
-> Is there anything comparable today ?
I think the git archive command might do the trick, but it requires ssh
(i.e., write) access to the repository
git archive --remote=g...@git.bioconductor.org:packages/xcms \
master DESCRIPTION | tar -xf -
It could be as simple as a directory tree
of a working copies of all https://git.bioconductor.org/
served by the apache (or whatever) web server,
or (a bit cooler) a gitweb or similar http interface.
Wouldn't that be a fantastic christmas present
for us users and developers :-) ?
Yours,
Steffen
