The Bioconductor Team is continuing to identify packages that will be deprecated in the next release to allow for the Bioconductor community to respond accordingly. The list will be updated monthly.
The current list of deprecated packages for Bioc 3.9 is as follows:
Maintainer requested deprecation:
-
Software:
- flowQ
Unresponsive/not-maintained packages:
-
Software:
- ProCoNA
-
Experiment Data Package:
- PGPC
We will be sending emails out to packages that have been broken across all platforms for an extended period of time, and therefore are now broken in Bioconductor Release 3.8 and Bioconductor Devel 3.9, as those are packages that are up for immediate deprecation if not corrected in a timely fashion. Thank you
Maybe we could start by having a BiocViews term that we use to identify this type of package. Although this would make them "findable" only if you search/browse the right BioC version because our view trees are version specific: https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/BiocViews.html#___Software
Probably worth moving this discussion to the bioc-devel mailing list?

I did move this to https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2018-November/014301.html
