[BioC] automatic data package maker

[Tomas Radivoyevitch]

Doing this manually has been taking me 1 to 2 hours a pop.

Related to your question, a few weeks ago I tried to post the two questions 
below. Regarding the second of these and your question, perhaps the solution 
is to simply get everyone into the habit of making R data packages and 
sending them up to Bioconductor. It would be nice if manuscripts started 
coming with R scripts as "additional files" so that figures could be 
reproduced, and having the corresponding datasets up at bioconductor as R 
packages would certainly help.

Q1:   Does anyone have an automatic approach to grabbing GEO soft files and 
making esets out of them?

Q2:   Regarding R Data packages as an alternative to grabbing things from 
GEO, can anyone explain why there are so few (if any) GEO datasets also up 
at Bioconductor? I'm wondering if there's some sort of legal hindrance going 
on, or if it's just the leg work that's missing.
