Canonical Version

Open mfansler opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

On Conda Forge, we lost the ability to build this package since v0.23.0 due to dependence on Bioconductor's Biobase package. Nevertheless, we've continued to rebuild v0.21.0 for R 4.1, 4.2, and now again with 4.3.

We could migrate the package to Bioconda, but this leads to it being masked by Conda Forge, which takes higher priority. The ideal solution would be to drop the dependence on Biobase. Looking at the current state of this repository, it seems to be ahead of the CRAN version and no longer depends on Biobase. However, there hasn't been any official releases (either here or CRAN), which prevents us at Conda Forge from tracking.

I have a few questions:

  • what is considered the canonical version of this package?
  • will Biobase stop being depended on going forward?
  • can releases be made (either here or CRAN)?
