Is it reasonable to point a 2.2 installation at the 2.1 repository or is that just crazy?
It isn't crazy, but we make no claims that it will work.
That depends on how you installed it initially. I like to install into a separate package library directory. Then I can nuke that to uninstall.
I suppose most of the folks on bioc-dev probably know what this means and how to do this, but can you suggest how to do this?
On unix-a-likes:
shell:
mkdir bioc1.6
export R_LIBS=`pwd`/bioc1.6
## you could have other items in your R_LIBS path if you want
R:
mypkglib = "/path/to/bioc1.6"
## if it is first in R_LIBS, you can get it like this:
## mypkglib = .libPaths()[1]
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R")
getBioC(destdir=mypkglib)
+ seth
PS: getBioC.R is now a new and improved script that detects your R
version and sources an appropriate install script.
