Hi Brian,

The next release is in October.

And you don't need me to give you the package. Just get the cdf from 
GEO, ungzip it, rename the file PrimeView.cdf, and then

biocLite("makecdfenv")
library(makecdfenv)
make.cdf.package("PrimeView.cdf", species="Homo_sapiens", version = "12.1")
install.packages("primeviewcdf/", repos = NULL, type = "source")

And you will be in business.

Best,

Jim
