[Bioc-devel] Minor detail with mirrors

[Sean Davis]

Hi, all.

I'm using a fresh version of R and BiocInstaller and noticed that
chooseBioCmirror() does not effectively change the bioconductor
repository.  Perhaps this was by design until the repositories sync
up, but just wanted to bring it up just in case.

Thanks,
Sean
