[CC'ing Steffen who maintains gprofiler]
Hi,
NOTE: This is for action *after* bullseye release
gprofiler description in CRAN[1] itself states that gprofiler is unmaintained and new users should use
gprofiler2 instead.
The only reverse(build) dependency of r-cran-gprofiler is pigx-rnaseq, which has *also* switched to using gprofiler2
in its latest release.
Hence, IMO this can be asked for a removal, and we could upload the "new" r-cran-gprofiler2 package.
I've committed the packaging of this to salsa already[2]
I've three questions:
1) Would anyone have any objections there?
As long as either version is in the archive, this is just fine.
2) Should this have a Breaks+Replaces on r-cran-gprofiler?
Yes.
3) Since we are pretty close to a release, would it be a better idea to upload it to NEW post release?
I do not see why not both could be submitted together. The version that
pigx-rnaseq depends on should be in.
Many thanks!
Steffen
