matchprobes and R 3.3

Hello I´m tried to install the package matchprobes in mac OS using the command source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("matchprobes")

and I get the message

BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org Using Bioconductor 3.3 (BiocInstaller 1.22.3), R 3.3.0 (2016-05-03). Installing package(s) ‘matchprobes’ Warning message: package ‘matchprobes’ is not available (for R version 3.3.0)

Can you help me? Best regards Ana Braga

the package that you are trying to install is old (2009) and might not be maintained anymore or updated, therefore is not compatible with the version of R that you are using.

have a look here for further explanation

In addition, searching for matchprobes leads to this old page where it indicates we have to use the Biostrings package instead.
