[BioC] Repository for Bioconductor annotation packages

[Keith Satterley]

James,

Further to where one can find the annotation data. I notice that when I 
install R2.3.1 on my Windows computer, the Select Repositories option 
shows 4 sites, CRAN, CRAN(extras), Bioconductor and Omegahat. If I add 
the following line:

BioCMData	BiocMetaData 
http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/data/annotation	FALSE	TRUE	TRUE	FALSE

(This is one long line)
to the repositories file in my R-2.3.1\etc subdirectory, I then have an 
extra repository listed, called BiocMetaData and I can then (provided I 
select it as a repository) see all the annotation data packages listed 
when I use Install Packages from the Packages Menu of the RGui.
Can this repository option be added automatically to the Repositories 
file when R is installed
