[Bioc-devel] "'BiocInstaller' package not in repository" error during nightly build

[Robert Castelo]

hi Kevin,

if you're talking about the devel version of BiocInstaller, the SVN logs 
show a commit yesterday with some correction on the BiocInstaller 
package, just svn the last version if you don't want to wait until the 
newer version gets built:

vn export --username readonly --password readonly 
https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks/BiocInstaller BiocInstaller

and R CMD build and INSTALL this newer version (1.17.1).


cheers,

robert.
