[BioC] Where are the new metadata packages

[John Zhang]

>A few days ago versions 1.5.1 of several data packages have been announced and 
were accessible for a little while. However, I no longer find them, the links on 
the bioconductor page lead to version 1.5.0 (e.g. for GO) and download.packages2 
fetches version 1.5.0 of GO. 

We have decided to also have a release (currently 1.5.0) and developmental 
version (currently 1.5.1) of annotation data packages. The link to metaData is 
for the release version. Our system is not quite ready for the developmental 
version yet. A very temporary solution is to do the following to get the 
developmental version (currently 1.5.1): 

library(reposTools)
z <- getReposEntry("http://www.bioconductor.org/data/metaData-devel")

Then you can use z in the 'repEntry' arguments:

update.packages2(repEntry=z)

Example for install.packages2
install.packages2("hgu95av2", repEntry=z)

Sorry for the confusion.
