[BioC] biocLite() failed to get CRAN package...

Jenny,
By default, the biocLite function on Windows grabs the Windows binary 
packages from the biocinstallRepos():

[1] "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/bioc"          
[2] "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/data/annotation"
[3] "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/data/experiment"
[4] "http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/extra"         
[5] "http://cran.fhcrc.org"                              

The reason why it didn't grab the XML package from CRAN is because the 
XML binary package is not maintained there (but is provided by Professor 
Brian Ripley at 
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/). You can, 
however, use biocLite to get the XML source package from CRAN and build 
the binary package on your machine, provided you Windows box is 
configured to do so, if you specify type = "source" in your biocLite 
function call.

We are planning on adding a version of the XML Windows binary package in 
our BioC "extras" repository at

"http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/extra"

in the near future. I will send an announcement to this message board 
when it is in place.


Cheers,
Patrick
