[BioC] package availability for R3.01

[E.M. Lodder]

Hi Diego,

Sorry I didn't copy that in the example, but I did install it first, it gives exactly the same error message.

Does anyone know the reason for not allowing these packages in newer versions of BioC?
I guess many people like me will have older datasets they may want to reanalyse.
The contents of these kind of reference packages is not code which I can understand may refer to obsolete functions etc. but just reference data, for the annotation of the probe names so I don't really understand why they would not just be taken along.

Elisabeth

The link you include with illuminaMousev2BeadID.db is for bioconductor
2.6 (i.e. a release several years old). It seems that package does not exist anymore in Bioconductor (since version 2.9, now we are in 2.12).
As for hgu133plus2.db, you have to install it first (you only tried to install illuminaMousev2BeadID.db in your example code). Try:

biocLite("hgu133plus2.db")
library(hgu133plus2.db)

HTH,

Diego
