Took a "bit" longer, but finally I have added the BioC repos: https://builder.r-hub.io/status/graph_1.52.0.tar.gz-72775062a4324351b5abf5dd83be9cdd

@mtmorgan Thanks! Is it appropriate if we use whatever `BiocInstaller()` chooses by default? (This is what happens currently.) Optionally, users could choose bioc-release or bioc-devel explicitly, by setting a flag....

> When both release and devel Bioc are on release R, BiocInstaller defaults to release Bioc, so the developer needs some way to say 'no, use devel bioc'. Yes, that's...

@mtmorgan Thanks! The YAML file looks very nice!

We'll do this long term, but it does require a much bigger DB, and much bigger machine.

Or just scrap the releases altogether. Probably nobody is using them, and there are better alternatives, like packrat.

Might not be that difficult, because we can do things like `http://crandb.r-pkg.org/-/pkgreleases?startkey="1997-12-10T07:19:59+00:00"&endkey="1998-08-31T10:25:11+00:00"`: http://crandb.r-pkg.org/-/pkgreleases?startkey=%221997-12-10T07:19:59+00:00%22&endkey=%221998-08-31T10:25:11+00:00%22 The only thing is that then all releases are listed up to `endkey`. So I could use...

@raredd: Hmmmmm, the point being? :)

yes, in the old days

Yes, updating them is not trivial, that's why it is not there. It is not hard of course, but I need to write some external JS code to do it,...
