[Bioc-devel] [BioC] Release 1.7 - Oligo package?

Hi,

I thought the Oligo package would be coming with this release. I'll be
getting set of xys format files from Nimblegen this week and would have
liked to give it a go. Can I get it from somewhere else?

All the best,
Mikko

- Rgraphviz is now available as a binary package for Windows

- Annotation data packages now include protein information from IPI
  (see the PFAM and PROSITE environments in the data packages).


Getting Started With Bioconductor 1.7
=====================================

To get started with Bioconductor 1.7, please:

- Install R 2.2.0.  Bioconductor 1.7 has been designed expressly for
  this version of R.

- Follow the instructions here:
  http://www.bioconductor.org/docs/install-howto.html


Known Issues
============

- The following packages are not currently available for Windows:
      affxparser    biomaRt       GeneR         GeneTraffic
      iSPlot        KEGGSOAP      maDB          MANOR
      msbase        pgUtils       RdbiPgSQL     rhdf5
      RMAGEML       SAGElyzer     SBMLR         stam
      widgetInvoke

- The following packages are not currently available for OS X:
      aCGH          edd           RdbiPgSQL     rhdf5
      RMAGEML       xcms

- The genbank() function in package annotate is broken.  The CGI
  script it was accessing at NCBI appears not to be functioning.  You
  will see a message like::

      parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
      Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

- The hexbin package is unable to execute its vignette on Windows.  A
  plot method fails giving an error message about -Inf, Inf xlim.

- The golubEsets dataset is temporarily unavailable, it will be fixed
  next week.
