Hi all, I'm fairly new to R and completely new to bioconductor. Just out of curiosity, is it safe/recommended to upgrade to the new R 2.7.0 release when it says on the bioconductor website that that "This [bioconductor] release is designed for R 2.6.1"? Thanks, -steve

Hi Steve, The release of Bioconductor is timed to be within a few weeks after the R release. Since R was released a few days ago, Bioconductor will be released very shortly. You wan wait for the Bioc release before you update your R or update your R now and install the core Bioc packages which I would think are pretty much stable now (Patrick can correct me if I am wrong on this). Either way, it is your choice.

Steve, The BioC 2.2 builds are very stable now and we will be sending around an announcement (with some fanfare) about the official release of BioC 2.2 in the next few days. If you are looking to put BioC 2.2 packages on your own machine, feel free to do so now. If you are looking to put them on a server for "validated"/"auditable" usage, you may want to wait until the BioC 2.2 release is out.

Out of curiousity, won't "update.packages()" achieve the same thing (assuming you've used setRepositories() to include BioC)? I've also just upgraded to 2.7.0, and today update.packages() choose to download Biobase 1.99.10 (the version from "upcoming" BioC 2.2) Thanks, -Aaron

For BioC package, this should be done with biocLite(), which is the easy and safe way to do it. Other methods can work if you know what you are doing. E.g. using update.packages() might work, provided that you use the proper repositories for BioC 2.2. This can be achieved with: > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") > biocinstallRepos() [1] "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/bioc" [2] "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/data/annotation" [3] "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/data/experiment" [4] "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/extra" [5] "http://cran.fhcrc.org" > install.packages(rep=biocinstallRepos(), ask=FALSE) Note that updating instead of reinstalling from scratch will not get you rid of the BioC 2.1 packages that have been discontinued in BioC 2.2. Keeping these packages around is a potential source of problems because they might not work properly with BioC 2.2 / R-2.7. So again, it's better to do a clean install from scratch with biocLite().

Hallo Wolfgang, thanks for your response. The same problem occured on Mac OS X (Leopard) with R.app (2008/04/23) as well: > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") > biocLite("Biobase", type="source") # also with type="binary" Running biocinstall version 2.2.7 with R version 2.7.0 Your version of R requires version 2.2 of BioConductor. Warning in install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, repos = repos, dependencies = dependencies, : argument 'lib' is missing: using '~/Library/R/2.7/library' Warning message: In install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, repos = repos, dependencies = dependencies, : package "Biobase"is not available > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) i386-apple-darwin8.10.1 locale: en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.7.0 The same result after following your suggestion with R --vanilla. I think, my last 'biocLite()'-try was on Monday and worked without any problem.

To follow up... Some spring cleaning in preparation for the release was a little too effective. biocLite should now work for Linux and Mac packages; Windows packages are in the process of being rebuilt. Thanks for alerting us to this problem.
