I didn't catch the RFP, but I've got bioconductor 1.1 packages built
(I'm a core developer for Bioconductor and release manager, but that's
another story).
Even better (or worse, depending on your angle), if I can figure out
the scripting, I'll have both Bioconductor 1.1 (updated for any
bugfixes), and Bioconductor-cvs-RELEASEDATE packages built.
I still need to send them to Dirk for the "once over" (hopefully soon,
but I still havn't rebuilt R on PPC Linux from source to get Dirk the
errors so we can fix a small problem there...).
One catch that I'm having (this is related to the build problems
mentioned above) would be needing to only install the tkWidgets and
hence R's tcltk package; while this is supposed to be done by default,
it bit me badly yesterday afternoon during final testing for release
of Bioconductor 1.1....
(I'm not on the med project list I think (yet?), so this may need
forwarding if it bounces, Andreas).
best,
