[Bioc-devel] package ‘FEM’ is not available (for R version 3.0.2)

Hi Yinming,

First - Like any package that gets added to Bioconductor, FEM
is first added to the *devel* version of BioC, which happens to
be BioC 3.0. To install and use packages from BioC 3.0, you need
to run R 3.1.*. That's because BioC 3.0 (including the FEM
package) was designed and tested to be used with R 3.1.*.

Second - BioC 3.0 is still the *devel* version of Bioconductor
(until next Tuesday, then it will be released and become the
*release* version of Bioconductor). For this reason you need to
call useDevel() before you try to install packages with biocLite().
That's a one time switch i.e. you don't need to do it again every
time you use biocLite().

Note that if you wait until BioC 3.0 is released, you won't
need to do the useDevel() step at all.

Hope this helps,
H.
