R help - Jun 2014 - Help with R package

Dear R Community,
  I am in process of developing an R package which in turn depends on a
package that is not available in CRAN but has to be downloaded from a web
source (as follows). Could someone guide me on how to include the package
listed in "Depends" of the Description file. I have the package
installed
in my computer:

Source of Package:
source(“http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R”)
biocLite(“Packagename”)
library(Packagename)

Thank you in advance,
Milan

A user just need to set BioC as a default repository as in

setRepositories()

and then install.package("yourPackage") will also automatically
install
the dependencies from BioC.

Best,
