Hi,

I'm thinking about using the Rcompression library for a package I'm writing and it is only available from the http://www.omegahat.org/R repository. I was wondering if this repo was used by the Bioc build system.

No, it is not.
You can see the repositories used by the build system if you do this:
library(BiocInstaller)
biocinstallRepos()

If not, I'd welcome pointers to libraries with similar capabilities, e.g. I'm retrieving compressed fasta files with Rcurl and would like to uncompress them in R.

Thanks!
