Dear Release Team,
Shortly after the release of R 4.6, planned for next week, Bioconductor
will publish new upstream versions for all of its packages. This
collective release will form Bioconductor 3.23.
There is tight coupling between R and Bioconductor packages, and as you
can see from the RC bugs opened yesterday by Santiago, a number of them
will need to be rebuilt. This will be addressed by the update to the new
upstream versions, since each upstream package is receiving an update,
even if only to its changelog.
As with the previous transition, the dependency graph will likely grow
with new packages. The NEW queue is almost empty at the moment, so
processing should be fast.
I am writing now to ask you to set up a transition tracker. All uploads
will be targeted to Experimental, and we will contact you again when
mass uploads to Unstable are ready, so we can proceed once you confirm
that the transition may begin.
On the technical side: r-bioc-generics provides the r-api-bioc-3.??
virtual package, and the tools used to build the other r-bioc-* packages
pick up that virtual package at build time. There are currently no
packages depending on r-api-bioc-3.21, and only one package depending on
r-api-bioc-3.22, since we skipped the corresponding Bioconductor
releases due to lack of manpower.
Have a nice weekend,
Charles
