This repository is the working documentation hub for Bioconductor's transition from the self‑hosted and self-maintained infrastructure (e.g. gitolite + legacy BBS build system) to a new model that:
- Hosts package source repositories natively on GitHub under the
bioconductor-sourceorganization. - Leverages the rOpenSci/r-universe build and publication ecosystem for automated, reproducible builds.
- Distributes package artifacts (binaries, tarballs) from bucket storage rather than VMs
- GitHub Hosting
- Strategic Overview – rationale, goals, benefits, risks
- Developer Implementation Guide – redirects, auth changes, contribution workflows
Feel free to open issues or pull requests against this repository to propose clarifications, corrections, or additional topics that would help maintainers and contributors navigate the transition.
