The one-liner on the package landing page describing how to check out a package from the git repo uses HTTPS rather than ssh, e.g.:
# From https://bioconductor.org/packages/bsseq/ git clone https://git.bioconductor.org/packages/bsseq However, as a developer we should be using the SSH protocol (https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/faq/). Is there any reason not to use the SSH protocol (i.e. git clone g...@git.bioconductor.org:packages/bsseq) in the instructions given on the landing page? It seems to me an unnecessary source of friction, particularly for new developers who will end up with the dreaded "fatal: remote error: FATAL: W any packages/myPackage nobody DENIED by fallthru (or you mis-spelled the reponame)" error message if they don't know to switch protocols (https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/faq/) Cheers, Pete _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
