Hi all, A few days ago versions 1.5.1 of several data packages have been announced and were accessible for a little while. However, I no longer find them, the links on the bioconductor page lead to version 1.5.0 (e.g. for GO) and download.packages2 fetches version 1.5.0 of GO. Has a problem been found with the packages? Or is the problem that the new versions have been accidentally removed from the repository? Cheers Claudio

However, I no longer find them, the links on the bioconductor page lead to version 1.5.0 (e.g. for GO) and download.packages2 fetches version 1.5.0 of GO. We have decided to also have a release (currently 1.5.0) and developmental version (currently 1.5.1) of annotation data packages. The link to metaData is for the release version. Our system is not quite ready for the developmental version yet. A very temporary solution is to do the following to get the developmental version (currently 1.5.1): library(reposTools) z <- getReposEntry("http://www.bioconductor.org/data/metaData-devel") Then you can use z in the 'repEntry' arguments: update.packages2(repEntry=z) Example for install.packages2 install.packages2("hgu95av2", repEntry=z) Sorry for the confusion. > >Has a problem been found with the packages? >Or is the problem that the new versions have been accidentally removed from the repository? > >Cheers >Claudio > >_______________________________________________ >Bioconductor mailing list >Bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch >https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor Jianhua Zhang Department of Biostatistics Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 44 Binney Street Boston, MA 02115-6084

Sorry, I should have made a general announcement about this. We're in the process of splitting the data into two tracks to match our packages, so that there will be a notion of "release" and "devel" data packages, where the former is intended to track BioC-Release and the latter BioC- Devel. I rolled back what is in the primary metadata repository to be considered "release" and have created a new "devel" metadata repository. The problem is that we're in a temporary state of flux as to how to handle notions of release/devel in general, which should be cleared up in the very near future. In the meantime, a temporary workaround to access the devel metadata repository can be had with: 'z <- getReposEntry("http://www.bioconductor.org/data/metaData- devel")' Then you can use z in the 'repEntry' arguments: 'update.packages2(repEntry=z, prevRepos=FALSE)' The 'prevRepos' argument turns off the default behavior of update.packages2 which is that it will instead try to update from the repository which you originally installed the package from. Example for install.packages2 install.packages2("hgu95av2", repEntry=z) -J
