In Bioconductor/BiocInstaller_release: Install/Update Bioconductor and CRAN Packages

Description

Update previously installed Bioconductor and CRAN packages and their dependencies. Use biocLite to install new packages or to update all out-of-date packages. Upgrading to a new Bioconductor release requires additional steps; see http://bioconductor.org/install.

Usage

biocUpdatePackages(pkgs, dependencies = NA, repos=biocinstallRepos(), ...)

Arguments

pkgs	character() of package names to install or update.
dependencies	character() describing out-of-date dependencies that are also updated. Defaults to c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo") but can be a subset of c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo", "Suggests", "Enhances").
repos	character() of named repositories in which to look for package updates, in the style of biocinstallRepos().
...	Additional arguments, passed to update.packages. For example, ask=FALSE to avoid prompts to update individual packages.
