OK, so it installs all the Depends, Imports, Suggests, and Enhances.

Maybe this should be mentioned somehow in the GUI (rename "install dependencies"?). It's not too much of an issue for CRAN, but in BioConductor there are large packages (10s of MB at least) which can get downloaded needlessly but are only Suggested.


While this might not be "here" nor "there," it's certainly somewhere in between:

If you stick with the recommended way of installing bioconductor libraries, ie:

R> source('http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R')
R> biocLite('GOstats')

You'd likely circumvent this problem. GOstats is installed in my system, but most all of the extra packages you were pulling down are not.
