Please don't mangle replies like this to make them unreadable. Peter's comment is spot-on. The request for versioned installs and the original code came from the BioC team via Robert Gentleman. I presume it was a deliberate choice that a versioned install of 'ash' is reported as an installation of 'ash_1.0-9', not 'ash', and I was referring you to the authors (and RG was one and will know who else was involved, as I recall at least Jeff Gentry) as to their intentions.
