Hi,

This is not BioC related, but should hopefully be quick.

According to
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Installing-R-under-OS-X
"there may be a separate installer package,
R-3.3.0-snowleopard.pkg".
I'm
not seeing any at http://r.research.att.com/. Has anyone heard if
they'll
keep supporting snowleopard?

Don't draw any conclusions from this; I think it just isn't
available
yet. Note that R-3.2.0 is not yet available for either Mac
platform.

BTW, I had an exchange with Simon Urbanek and he said that indeed
they plan to drop support for Snow Leopard with the release of
R-3.3.0 in a year's time.

3.2.0 is still supported, although there is still not an official
3.2.0 binary for Snow Leopard on CRAN (I've asked for clarification
on this); there is a binary of R-3.2.0-patched on
http://r.research.att.com/ .

BTW (again), I should mention that BioC devel (3.2) uses R-3.2, so for package development you don't yet want to move to R-3.3.0. That should give you six more months to shop for new hardware.
