Hello, I just tried to upgrade my Bioconductor 1.1 Linux installation following the instructions on http://bioconductor.org/reposToolsDesc.html . Unfortunately I fail at: > rep <- getReposEntry("BIOCRel1.1") Note: BIOCRel1.1 does not seem to have a valid repository, skipping Is there something in disarray? Kind regards Reinhold Koch

As an aside, I would recommend keeping current with the development version of reposTools at least (which requires the devel version of Biobase), as there have been some major enhancements over the last week (there will be a few more mostly cosmetic and "ease of use" changes in the next couple of days as well). > > rep <- getReposEntry("BIOCRel1.1") > Note: BIOCRel1.1 does not seem to have a valid repository, skipping Hmmm. This works for me here. can you try two things for me? 1) rep <- getReposEntry("http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/release1.1/packa ge/") If that doesn't work then: 2) rep <- url("http://www.bioconductor.org") readLines(rep) See if either of those gives you anything valid. -J
