[BioC] R CMD check : biocLite warning

[Henrik Bengtsson]

NOTEs can be ignored and are sometimes false positives.  If I want to
get rid of it, a workaround that I use is:

# To please R CMD check
biocLite <- NULL; rm(biocLite)
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(annotpkg)

Similar code-check NOTEs occurs when you for instance load objects,
attach a data frame etc, e.g.

df <- data.frame(a=1, b=2)
attach(df)
# To please R CMD check
a <- b <- NULL; rm(a, b)
x <- a + b
