[BioC] BrainArray custom CDF repository missing in biocReposList()

[Marc Carlson]

Hi Diego,

The brainarray CDFs are only missing from the 2.8 build of Bioconductor 
because there is not yet a brainarray build that matches that.  There is 
a recent brainarray build that matches Bioconductor 2.7 though, so we 
have of course provided access to that for the older 2.7 branch.

If you are interested in access to a set of brainarray packages that 
match Bioconductor 2.8, then I would recommend that you contact them and 
let them know how much you appreciate their hard work.   ;)

We will of course make such packages available as soon as it is possible 
to do so.
