I will try to make an "unofficial" summarise of the pkg-bioc project.
Well we have currently more than 1750 uptodate available packages in two
flavours (i386 & AMD64). (Cran & Bioc & Omegahat). The PPC builds is
working, but my only PPC computers is very slow for the packaging
(PB PPCG3 600MHz).
The packages are currently on Alioth (after asking the Alioth
maintainers). But we are looking forward to some mirror (space & bandwidth
facilities) before making an official announcement.
