[BioC] SomaticSignatures

[Steve Lianoglou]

Woops, meant to expand on the "how would you have known" (that this
package is only available in bioc-devel) bit before hitting send.

There are two things that would have clued you into that fact:

First, on the package page, under the "Details" section, there is a
row that says "In Bioconductor since", with a value of "BioC 2.14
(R-3.1)"

btw, the current version of bioconductor is bioc 2.13 (which is tied
to R-3.0.x (the "announcement" message you get when  you load the
"BiocInstaller" package should tell you the version of bioconductor it
thinks you are using)).

Also, the URL for the package only works with "devel" in it, instead
of "release".

This works:

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/SomaticSignatures.html

This doesn't:

http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SomaticSignatures.html
