Hi, Gabriel,

The iFlow package has not been able to built before we release BioC 2.7, so we took it out of the branch. We are, however, trying to fix the bugs such that it can be put back to the development branch (2.8) as soon as possible.  Meanwhile, we will change the maintainer's email address. Thanks for noticing the defunct address. I will get back to you as soon as the package can be built again.


Thanks,
Chao-Jen

Subject: [BioC] iFlow and current Bioconductor release

I recently tried to install the iFlow flow cytometry GUI on top of my R/Bioconductor installation, and received a warning message that the package was not available (R console output copied below). The e-mail address of the maintainer appears to be defunct.


Furthermore, a binary is available on the webpage for Bioconductor 2.6, but there is no page in the listing of packages for the release version of Bioconductor (2.7) or the development version (2.8).


Has this package been quietly completely discontinued? Or is there some other way to obtain it?
