migrating code from biocViews
Closed this issue · 2 comments
As discussed in one of our meetings, we need to move code that works with NEWS files to another package, perhaps ReleaseLaunch or a new package?
FWIW I have also worked on compiling NEWS at https://github.com/LiNk-NY/newsfeed
@hpages @lshep
What other functionality should we move out of biocViews?
Moving the code that handles NEWS files to the ReleaseLaunch package seems sensible. I'd suggest this issue focuses on that code. Separated issues can be opened later if additional code needs to be moved. Thanks @LiNk-NY
@LiNk-NY I still see a bunch of NEWS related functions in biocViews (extractNEWS, getPackageNEWS, printNEWS, getNEWSFromFile). They should be deprecated in favor of the things that are now in ReleaseLaunch.
Also it seems that you've migrated more things than just the NEWS related stuff to ReleaseLaunch. Please make sure to deprecate all the things in biocViews that are now in ReleaseLaunch. Thanks!
