Dear all,

I wanted to point our IT departement to the new installation procedure of
Bioconductor, and to my astonishment that information starts with

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

No mention of BiocManager there. This information really needs updating
imho, or is there a reason why the old installation procedure is still
mentioned there?

https://www.bioconductor.org/install/

Cheers

The old installation is still valid for the current release 3.7.   We planned to update this page as it got closer to the next release 3.8.  As the release 3.8 is fast approaching (end of Oct) we will most likely be updating this page in the very near future.


Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Cheers,

Thank you for the information. I've linked our IT to the vignette of
BiocManager for the time being.

Cheers
