Dear bioc-devel, It appears I need the "nuclear" option for the `lfa` and `gcatest` packages, as it was described in the contributor's guide:
https://contributions.bioconductor.org/git-version-control.html#abandon-changes I took over `lfa` and `gcatest` internally almost 3 years ago and have made tons of commits on the GitHub versions since. However, until last month I didn't have access to the Bioconductor git versions. These Bioconductor versions have always had unrelated histories (starting back when Bioconductor used SVN); the original maintainer pushed some updates that were manually reproduced from his GitHub version, but in general the GitHub versions are the main ones, whereas the Bioconductor-only updates are reserved to version bumps. It doesn't make sense for me to try to merge the two histories, I'd rather completely overwrite (a la "git push -f") the Bioconductor versions with the GitHub ones, and maintain them synced from now on. For `lfa` I just tried `git push -f upstream devel`, and got the following expected error: remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (330/330), done. remote: FATAL: + refs/heads/devel packages/lfa a.ochoa DENIED by fallthru remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/devel To git.bioconductor.org:packages/lfa.git ! [remote rejected] devel -> devel (hook declined) error: failed to push some refs to 'git.bioconductor.org:packages/lfa.git' The guide says I must contact you to "abandon changes", "start fresh", "go nuclear", so let me know what to do next! Thanks! -Alex _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
