Re: [Bioc-devel] GitHub and svn
Hi Kevin, Mani -- Isn't the git-svn bridge deprecated? http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git-svn/ And this message: - Forwarded Message - From: "Dan Tenenbaum" To: "bioc-devel" Sent: Monday, December 28, 2015 11:08:29 AM Subject: [Bioc-devel] Git-Svn bridge will be removed permanently on January 29, 2016 Attention Bioconductor developers, The deprecated Git-SVN bridge will be removed permanently on Friday, January 29th, 2016. But anyway, Mani, I at least agree with you that the current system is "unnecessarily complicated" (git-svn, cherry-picking, credentials, mirrors and so forth) and I hope it will become much better after, as Kasper put it, "the (long) process of changing this" gets finished, which I hope means a system that is git-centered, since that seems to be the way the world has moved. I, for one at least, have several ideas for new packages and maintenance of old ones that I continue to put off on the hopes that one day soon the update system will be as easy for an official Bioconductor repo as it is to simply push a git commit to my own repository on GitHub. But alas, it is not yet the case -- but I think when this gets "fixed" it will be a glorious future indeed. -Nathan On 10/15/2016 06:41 PM, Kevin RUE wrote: Dear Mani, That's actually where I think the git-svn bridge becomes useful.

Re: [Bioc-devel] GitHub and svn
Mani, Related to what Kasper said, one thing you can do is commit directly to the canonical repo for your package (which again is not on github once the package is accepted) from rstudio. It supports svn. ~G On Oct 15, 2016 11:38 AM, "Kasper Daniel Hansen" < kasperdanielhan...@gmail.com> wrote: Not at the moment.

Re: [Bioc-devel] GitHub and svn
Not at the moment. We are in the (long) process of changing this, but there is no ETA for it. The complications we currently have, as soon as a package is accepted in Bioconductor, is that the "true" repository then becomes Bioconductor SVN and your Github repository is just a way for you to develop. This is not the case during package submission.
