Dear all,

I found many peoples still using (and asking questions of) out-dated branch
of Bioconductor packages that are no longer maintained.

I think it would be great to have a message notifying them when they are
browsing the web page of out-dated branches, just like we have a message
for devel branch.

For example, for BioC 3.2, a message like:

This is the BioC 3.2 version of XXX_pkg; for the current stable release
version, see XXX_pkg_url.

thanks for the suggestion.

The community can help guide people to the current landing page by using urls of the form https://bioconductor.org/packages/YourPacakge, without any version specification -- this is easy to type and remember, and redirects to the 'release' landing page (or devel landing page if the package is not yet in release).

Martin


would be helpful.

Best wishes,
Guangchuang
