So this thread is good for my follow up question.

I am setting up a Windows box to test/fix bumphunter (newest version 1.1.7)
which has been broken (R CMD check) for a while, especially on Windows.

This page (bottom)
  http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.13/bioc/html/bumphunter.html
suggests that the latest binary version for Windows is 1.1.0 which is also
probably the last time it build and checked properly.  So this all reflects
my expectations of not being able to get a binary version newer than 1.1.0

However, when I install R-3.0.1 under windows, source biocLite and do
useDevel(TRUE) (getting BiocInstaller version 1.11.3) and then do
  biocLite("bumphunter")
I get version 1.1.7. Why?  I am asking for binary versions and nor source.

Best,
Kasper
