Hi Cyrus, The next release of Bioconductor is scheduled for may 18th. We will be providing updated data packages at that time --- all compatible with the latest R release. Sorry for the inconvenience. + seth Cyrus Harmon <ch-bioc@bobobeach.com> writes: > Dear BioC, > > The bioconductor metadata packages (such as drosophila2) have a zzz.R > file that calls delay.

It sounds like the data packages are compatible with the current release (2.1.0), and that the delay function has only been deprecated, rather than defuncted in this release. Trying to upgrade to a new OS (MacOS 10.4), new compilers (gcc4, g95), new R (2.2.0 prerelease) and new BioC (develOK=true versions) all at once was probably not a good idea. :-) Thanks again, Cyrus

We've put in place a stop gap measure by allowing browsing of the entire data subdirectory of the site. So if you are searching for a data package, have a browse here: http://www.bioconductor.org/data/ + seth
