The deadline for fixing packages in preparation for the release is this Friday
October 20th. All packages should be installing, building, and checking without
ERROR in the Bioconductor build report. While you can continue to push changes
past this date, this ensures all changes are reflected in at least one build
report before the code freeze for release. Packages that continue to show
ERRORs in the build report after the release will be consideration for
deprecation. We are on schedule to release Wednesday October 25th.
Please also remember to update your NEWS files for any information about
changes to your packages during this last development cycle. Bioconductor
collates all package news files as part of the release announcement. If your
NEWS file is not formatted correctly and not updated by this weekend, it will
not be included in the release announcement.
For clarification:
The release 3.18 branch has not yet been created. Please continue to update
the devel branch.
Next week when the release occurs the core team will automatically create the
RELEASE_3_18 branch on git.bioconductor.org but until that time the only branch
accessible is devel. Do NOT try to create a RELEASE_3_18 branch on your own;
the core team will do this for you. Bioconductor will also handle bumping the
y of a package version x.y.z on release day.
