For anyone that is maintaining a Bioconductor mirror/rsync please make any
necessary updates within the next two weeks regarding location / legacy
Bioconductor releases.
Starting a few years ago, Bioconductor has moved archived versions of
Bioconductor off the AWS cloudfront instance. Syncing to legacy releases of
Bioconductor is not allowed and wasted effort as once Bioconductor freezes a
release, no maintainer is allowed to make changes to that Bioconductor branch
ever. We would notify mirrors if any package has to be removed because of any
violations and they would have to be removed manually. Several of you have
noticed this switch with Bioconductor versions <= 3.14. Noticing that your
rsync resulted in an empty repository. In roughly 2 weeks, April 30 th, we
will begin the process of moving 3.20 off into the archive. If you have set up
your rsync to use numerical indications and/or with the --delete flag, you may
need to adjust your rsync commands to keep a legacy version of Bioconductor and
not have it completely removed. Please make any adjustment by April 30th.
If you need an archival version or do not make this adjustment in time, please
reach out and we can provide instructions for a one time copy over to a system.
