[Bioc-devel] BiocManager now on CRAN

[Marcel Ramos]

Hi Jason,

Please check all of your package files and not just the vignette.

The criteria involve a simple `grep` search of all package files for
the words `biocLite` and `BiocInstaller`.

~/Bioconductor/ClusterSignificance (master) $ grep -rn "biocLite" *
README.md:52:source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
README.md:53:biocLite("ClusterSignificance")
README.Rmd:45:source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
README.Rmd:46:biocLite("ClusterSignificance")

As I've mentioned in the previous emails, you can use:

install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("YourPackageNameHere")

to replace the source function call.

You may also refer to the "Installation" section of the devel landing pages
for an additional example:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/ClusterSignificance.html

Best regards,
Marcel
