[Bioc-devel] bioconductor.org is back

[Herve Pages]

Hi,

bioconductor.org is back online:

  http://bioconductor.org/

You can use biocLite() again to install packages:

  > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
  > biocLite("pkgname")

Reminder: if you are using BioC devel (currently BioC 2.2, you need R devel
for this), then it's recommended that you update your installation
frequently (at least once a week):

  > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") # you'll get warnings the
                                                 # 2nd time you do this, you
                                                 # can safely ignore them
  > update.packages(rep=biocinstallRepos(), ask=FALSE)

Cheers,
H.
