hi,

today i installed the current R-devel in order to resume development of
my package on the development branch, but once R-devel (=2.13) is
installed, the biocLite() function installs BioC 2.7 instead of BioC 2.8
while at the build/check results page in

http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.8/bioc-LATEST

everything looks like the devel branch is properly created. here is what
it get when i do biocLite() on R 2.13:

source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
BioC_mirror = http://www.bioconductor.org
Change using chooseBioCmirror().
biocLite()
Using R version 2.13.0, biocinstall version 2.7.4.
Installing Bioconductor version 2.7 packages:
 [1] "affy"          "affydata"      "affyPLM"       "affyQCReport" 
 [5] "annaffy"       "annotate"      "Biobase"       "biomaRt"      
 [9] "Biostrings"    "DynDoc"        "gcrma"         "genefilter"   
[13] "geneplotter"   "GenomicRanges" "hgu95av2.db"   "limma"        
[17] "marray"        "multtest"      "vsn"           "xtable"       
Please wait...

[... installation follows without problems ...]

then i load Biobase and the session information says the following:

library(Biobase)
[.. output removed .. ]
sessionInfo()
R version 2.13.0 Under development (unstable) (2010-10-24 r53413)
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)

locale:
[1] C

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods
base     

other attached packages:
[1] Biobase_2.10.0


while on the website, the development Biobase version is 2.11


i guess i should have been getting the BioC 2.8 bundle, right?


cheers,
robert.
