[BioC] CRANrepository is not a repository or some http problem

[Malard, Joel M]

Sorry for the delay. It seems like the problem is sorted out.

On my system at least, two metadata packages (zebrafish and
xenopuslaevis) are needed by annotate but not loaded by getBioC(); so
annotate fails to install and then the affy package fails too. Another
possible problem is that I was using R 2.0.1. 

All works well now that the two metadata packages are installed using
the patched version of R 2.0.1. I could be that only the two packages
are necessary.

With best regards,

Joel

I have (basically) the same error.

If you have followed the mailing list you will notice that the website 
is being moved at the moment. I am guessing that we have some problems 
obtaining the BioC copy of CRAN.

Since rankProduct is a standard R package and since (ok I am 
guessing) the BioC version of CRAN is do, install.packages2 cannot find 
rankProduct.

Solution:
1) wait 'till it get fixed
2) use install.packages instead as it will connect directly to CRAN.
