Hi Jeseph,

I see now you are talking about Enis' code for automated building of
virtual machine
Galaxy images, https://bitbucket.org/afgane/mi-deployment/src -
mentioned briefly
here: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/NGS%20Local%20Setup

I know very little about this area of Galaxy - we install any tools needed for
Galaxy by hand (and try to document how we did it for future reference).

That was a CRAN mirror, which seems to have gone now.
