Thanks, I incorrectly thought that I was using the same R version as
the Bioc-build machines since the "r66923" part matched. Now I
realize
that this tag is used in all of the newest R builds at
http://r.research.att.com/.

It's admittedly confusing;

Agreed. But the error message issued by useDevel() in the current
release adds to the confusion:

  > library(BiocInstaller)

  Bioconductor version 3.0 (BiocInstaller 1.16.0), ?biocLite for help

  > useDevel()

  Error: 'devel' version already in use

What about something like:

  Error: you need R 3.2 to run BioC 'devel' version

Thanks,
H.

the question of whether to use R-devel with Bioc-devel has a different
answer every six months, but the answer can always be found here:

http://www.bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/useDevel/

Also, when looking at the devel build report, you should probably focus
more on the version portion of the "R version" column than on the SVN
revision number.

You should not be using R-3.1.2 patched with the current devel

Bioconductor; use R-devel.

Hi,

I can't seem to install devel packages via biocLite() and I wonder
if
something is broken or if I'm missing something. For example, take
GenomeInfoDb which is at 1.3.6 and is passing all checks.

The usual code using a fresh R 3.1.2-patched install isn't working
as
it downloads the latest release version (1.2.2):

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

Bioconductor version 3.0 (BiocInstaller 1.16.0), ?biocLite for
help

For my computer it's not problem because I can download the pkg
via
svn and install locally. But it breaks my tests in TravisCI which
relies on biocLite().

Cheers,
Leo
