Hi,

For a "more general solution" one could think of specifying the version of critical packages in the 'description' file and having a 'biocLite' function that installs the specific version from CRAN. See e.g. the 'devtools::install_version' function for installing older packages from the CRAN archive. This may have drawbacks for binary or compiled packages though.

Best wishes
Julian

However, I don't know if this could be a "general solution for all
users" since when installing a package via
biocLite,  the latest version of the cran package is installed
regardless the R/BiocInstaller version you are using.  Users
would need to download the versions of the dependencies that they need
and install them manually.
