Answer 1

I believe this is an error that will be corrected when our builds finish this morning at 10ish Seattle time -- the CRANextras repository is no longer available for Macs, and you're seeing the top of a redirect page. Look for BiocInstaller version > 1.4.5 after source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R"). There is an email thread on the Bioconductor mailing list.
