Dear bioconductor developers and mainteiners,

I have been trying to download "NMMAPSlite "package since last week some packages The following website , Unfortunately, I am faced with the following error :

library(NMMAPSlite)
> initDB(basedir = "NMMAPS")
creating directory 'NMMAPS' for local storage
Error in download.file(rpath, versionFile(db, where = "local"), mode = "w",  : 
  cannot open URL 'http://www.ihapss.jhsph.edu/NMMAPS/v0.3/outcome/version'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(rpath, versionFile(db, where = "local"), mode = "w",  :
  cannot open: HTTP status was '403 Forbidden'

First of all, NMMAPSlite is not a Bioconductor package. It is (or was) a CRAN package. But it has been removed from CRAN as you can see here:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/NMMAPSlite/index.html

So you can either use an archived version (link at page above) or find another way to do your work that does not rely on NMMAPSlite.

The NMMAPSlite package has been removed from CRAN and was, as far as I know, never a Bioconductor package.  Your best bet is to contact the author for some clarification about availability and usage.
