I guess I'll step in since I haven't seen a response from Jafar yet... It
is my understanding that flowDensity has been submitted to BioConductor
quite a while ago, but there is some disagreement about certain design
aspects between the main package developer (Jafar) and the package reviewer
on the BioConductor side. So this went back and forth a few times, plus
Jafar just came back from (a rather long :-) vacation, which means that
this still hasn't been resolved. So the package is not in BioConductor
(yet), but it is available from the author if someone wants to use it right
now. The best way is to email Jafar directly (Jafar Taghiyar, <
jafar.taghiyar@gmail.com>). Alternatively (e.g., if he does not respond
fast enough), please feel free to email me offline and I can grab the
latest version from our internal SVN and just give it to you. We are using
flowDensity routinely in our lab so I would say it is ready for production
in that sense.

Cheers,
Josef
