Hi Michael,

That's indeed something I'm considering too. I'm trying to figure out what's the best in my case. Thanks for the input!

I was wondering if this repo was used by the Bioc build system. If not, I'd welcome pointers to libraries with similar capabilities, e.g. I'm retrieving compressed fasta files with Rcurl and would like to uncompress them in R.
