setRepositories
Select Package Repositories

Description

Selects and sets the default package repositories.

Usage

setRepositories(graphics = getOption("menu.graphics"), ind = NULL,
    addURLs = character())

Arguments

graphics this argument is currently ignored.
ind an integer vector specifying the indices of the package repositories to set as the default. If NULL, then the user is shown a menu of known repositories to select from.
addURLs additional URLs to set as default package repositories.

Details

A list of known repositories is stored in a CSV file called "repositories". If such a file exists in the directory ~/.TERR, then it is used. Otherwise the list in R.home("etc") is used.
Value
returns the prior value of getOption("repos").
Side Effects
The value of getOption("repos") is changed. Subsequent calls to install.packages and any other functions that look for a package repository examine the URLs listed there.
