[Bioc-devel] bioc AMI: permissions in R-libs

Hi

I'm currently working with the Bioconductor Amazon Machine Instance
(AMI) for Bioc 3.3 (ami-64d43409) and wanted to install additional
packages with biocLite(). This failed because about half of the
sub-directories in ~/R-libs are not owned by the standard user 'ubuntu'
but by root. 

Can this be easily fixed in the existing AMI? (I mean, can one just
run a 'chown' and save it as a new AMI?) If so, this might be useful.


Thanks

  Simon
