install.packages("lme4.0",repos=c("http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/repos",

getOption("repos")))

using repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org" *might* also work, but it won't
if there is any hangup in the R-forge package building process, due either
to a mistake by the package maintainers or a problem with the R-forge
infrastructure.

  I will shortly update

https://github.com/lme4/lme4/blob/master/README.md

with this information.
