Hi Michael,
on my side, I am leaning towards skipping the release entirely. Next
Bioc release is in 4 months already.
In any case, I wonder if we really need to go to experimental now that
the bulk of (or all of?) the r-bioc-* packages have been removed from
Testing. Thanks to this, packages with minimal dependencies outside the
Bioconductor universe can now migrate independantly, isn't it? The only
thing that remians to be careful of is the interaction with other
transitions.
If we still go for a massive upload to experimental, then I think that
it would be neat to add an --experimental option to routine-update.
Also, shall we exclude i386 systematically from now on? I find that the
slow demise of this architecture is very taxing, as it causes us to
remove packages one after the other with no planification nor
automation. As we do not have good tools to manage which architectures
we build and release on (everything has to go to uploads or bug reports
to over-busy teams), I think that we should just pull the plug entirely.
Have a nice day,
Charles
