I just used biocLite in R-2.13 (.2 patched) with ask=FALSE and got an error:
Using R version 2.13.2, biocinstall version 2.8.4.
Installing Bioconductor version 2.8 packages:
[1] "fdrtool"
Please wait...
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb", ...) :
unused argument(s) (ask = FALSE)
Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, :
download of package 'fdrtool' failed
Seems like the ... argument is passed to download.file. Not sure if
this is a "bug" but biocLite used to accept ask=FALSE. Btw, it works
in 2.14, so it might not be worth fixing.
