Hi List, I've set up a CRAN-like repository (not a CRAN mirror) on the local filesystem (this will change to http in the future). R has been told about this repository using the following entry in R_HOME/etc/repositories: PMR2 PMR2 file:///Users/arbeit/Documents/clarin/Open_Science/PMR2/ TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE
Now I expected download.packages(), install.packages() etc. to look for packages in "/Users/arbeit/Documents/clarin/Open_Science/PMR2/" without passing them repos="file:///Users/..." as an option. That doesn't happen and I'm not completely sure why. Did I misinterpret the role of R_HOME/etc/repositories or is it possible I made a mistake? A related question is this: my PMR2 repo provides source packages only. Is there a way to tell a lokal R installation to look for source packages _only_ for this specific repo and use binary packages for CRAN?
