[BioC] lumi: estimateMethylationBG problem

sorry for the stupid question, but how do I install the developing version of lumi 2.5.1  mentioned by Pan below?

I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 and here is the R that I have installed:

inah-960:~ # rpm -qa | grep R-
R-patched-2.13.0-33.1.x86_64
R-patched-devel-2.13.0-33.1.x86_64

When I install lumi using biocLite, it tells me this:

trying URL 'http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.8/bioc/src/contrib/lumi_2.4.0.tar.gz'

which is 2.4.0 and not 2.5.1.

Many thanks, Ina

Hi Chao-Jen

Because infinium 450K includes two types of probe design, I added many
updates for 450K in the developing version of lumi 2.5.1, which may fix some
of these problems. Please check it. More updates for 450K will be added in
the near future.

Thanks Tim built the annotation package!
