[BioC] Suggestions for upgrading BioC (was: ReadAffy problem)

[Seth Falcon]

Hi,

As Benilton pointed out, you have a stale version of affyio.  This
suggests that you reused your package library while upgrading R and
BioC.  I thought I would take the opportunity to make a recommendation
for upgrading R and BioC...

I would strongly recommend maintaining separate package libraries for
each version of R and Bioconductor.  This will help one avoid subtle
(and not so subtle) version mismatch issues.  After an initial install
into a _new_ pacakge library, you can update the set of installed
packages like this:

    library("Biobase")
    update.packages(repos=biocReposList())


+ seth
