Hi Philipp, You can get devel versions of R at ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/. I believe the idea has always been that BioC devel (i.e., 2.6) works with R devel; iFlow is in BioC 2.6 so that should work. However, iFlow may not necessarily need the latest R. I haven't tried the latest version but I have been playing with iFlow back in 2009 using R 2.9 or so. You can install iFlow from sources from the SVN repository (https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/trunk/madman/Rpacks) user readonly, password readonly. To install it, run the R CMD INSTALL . The only pain with this approach is that you will have to manually resolve all the dependencies. Good luck.
