Hi BioConductor Team, I am a PhD Candidate in the Cognitive Disorders Research lab at the university of Toledo. I am responsible for a number of R packages and our intention is to submit them to bioconductor over the next several months. I had just submitted a package drugfindR ( https://github.com/CogDisResLab/drugfindR). This was immediately closed as my repo had a single file over the 5MB limit.
I wanted to ask both if you would reconsider/make an exception or guide me in the right direction. This package serves as a way to quickly learch through the LINCS data stored at the ilincs.org portal. The file in question is one of three metadata files that allows the package to function efficiently and without having to go through the expensive network requests. It would really be helpful if we could include the file as is. I do not expect more files like that to be added to the package at all. Barring that, I have seen the suggestion of using AnnotationHub or ExperimentHub. While I have gone through the documentation, I'm not entirely sure how those services work. Are those services where we can store the data itself or we are expected to host the data elsewhere and create lightweight "pointer" packages. Similarly, I'm not entirely sure which Hub this would go to. Any advice or guidance will be appreciated.
