Description

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.

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.
