[R-sig-genetics] package mvtnorm is obsolete

[Jombart, Thibaut]

Dear Federico, 

mvtnorm is not obsolete, genetics is, and has been so for at least a year I think. The R-genetics project on Bioconductor is meant to replace it. 

I think most functionalities of 'genetics' are available in the packages pegas and adegenet.

Cheers

Thibaut.

Ok, I went on to http://rgenetics.org/trac/rgalaxy but no clear guidance is present on mvtnorm. Aside from the message, wich I am happy to ignore, is there any other thing to do/be aware of?
