The sma author no longer wishes to maintain this package. The packges
beadarray and arrayQualityMetrics are Bioconductor packages that depend
on sma indirectly through other packages. The other packages are being
revised to no longer depend on sma, but this has not yet been completed.
The workaround is to manually install sma from its archive: download

  http://cran.fhcrc.org/src/contrib/Archive/sma/sma_0.5.15.tar.gz

and install.packages("sma_0.5.15.tar.gz", repos=NULL).

beadarray and arrayQualityMetrics are Bioconductor packages, so please
follow up on the Bioconductor mailing list

This message is mainly for Zong-pei:

I don't know the circumstances or license for sma, but one of the 
advantages of open source is that someone else could take over 
maintenance of sma if it is open source and the original author is no 
longer interested.  You should think about doing it, or recruiting 
someone with the necessary skills if you don't have them.
