[Bioc-devel] exp. data, updates

2013-07-10 Thread Kasper Daniel Hansen
I have just changed the class definition for a core class in bsseq. A supporting experiment data package, bsseqData, contains two objects of this core class and now it needs to be updated (specifically because the example() contains a command which prints the object and this printing now fails).

This will help me branch code, but not objects with changed definitions. Kasper On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 12:44 PM, Dan Tenenbaum wrote: > On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 7:05 AM, Kasper Daniel Hansen > wrote: > > I have just changed the class definition for a core class in bsseq. A > > supporting exp

It's simpler than that. Just make the change you need to make. The package will fail to pass the build/check in release so it won't propagate. That means that whatever version of bsseqData is currently in BioC 2.12 will remain forever i.e. you won't be able to update it. Hope that's OK with you.

Thanks, this is very helpful. In general, following our release paradigm, I see no reason to ever want to update bsseqData for Bioconductor 2.12 - since it is a data package chances are small for finding a critical bug. Best, Kasper On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 3:17 PM, Hervé Pagès wrote: > It's s

I had this issue with GWASTools/GWASdata at one point. There is only one copy of an experiment data package, so if you change it, it will break the current release version of bsseq. The solution I came up with was to add new objects with different names to the data package, and change my exam
