Hi,

Has biocLite.R changed recently?  We are (recently) getting errors using
this non-interactively via Rscript using R 2.15.3.  Here's a minimal
example on a fresh 2.15.3 installation:
$ Rscript -e "sessionInfo(); source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')"
R version 2.15.3 (2013-03-01)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)

locale:
[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  base
Error in value[[3L]](cond) : could not find function "is"
Calls: source ... tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> tryCatchOne -> <Anonymous>
Execution halted

This is on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, for what it's worth.

We're implementing an internal fix of just making a 'library(methods)" call
ahead of the "source" call (based on this clue in the R archives:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-February/228966.html), but I
figured a general note was in order as well since that script seems to be
meant to support earlier versions of R along with the current release.

Best,
David
