[Bioc-devel] CRAN packages used on BioC servers?

Hi,

is there a way to see what version of a particular CRAN package the
BioC release/devel servers have installed?  Also, at what frequency
are CRAN packages updated on these servers?

Best,

Hi Henrik,

To see all the packages that are installed on a given build machine, go
to the daily build/check report

  http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.2/bioc-LATEST/

and follow the link in the "Installed pkgs" column in the 2nd table
starting at the top of the report.
update.packages() is run everyday before the builds are actually started.
The value passed to its 'repos' argument contains "http://cran.fhcrc.org".
In other words the build system should always use the very latest version
of what CRAN packages are currently available. Please let us know if you
see something different.

Thanks!
