Hello, I'm trying to install the package 'jmosaics' (http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/jmosaics.html) I'm getting back an error saying the Package 'jmosaics' not available (for R version 2.15.2). The pckage discription says it is compatible with R 2.15.2.

The pckage discription says it is compatible with R > 2.15.2. Does it really say that? If you read tr page you linked to a bit more closely you'll see that this package has been available in bioconductor since bioc-2.12 (R-3.0) If you want to use the package in the "supported" way, you are going to have to update to R-3.0 and reinstall your packages via biocLite.
