Include Bioconductor packages on MRAN ?

[Kevin Wright]

Have you (Revolution Analytics) thought about including Bioconductor packages on MRAN?

Sometimes my co-workers are having trouble installing packages from both CRAN and Bioconductor.  It would be one less step for them if all the packages were on one site.

We've considered it, but we don't expect to see BioConductor packages hosted on MRAN in the next few months.

In the meantime, you might want to check out miniCRAN. Its latest version supports creating your own repository that includes CRAN and BioConductor packages.
