Please forgive another comment on this topic.
The 'type' argument to tools::write_PACKAGES doesn't currently accept
the 'mac.binary.mavericks' value. It seems like it should, to make it
possible to pass the same 'type' argument to all of the package
generation and manipulation functions?

Error in match.arg(type) :
'arg' should be one of “source”, “mac.binary”, “win.binary”

Dear R-devel,
Apologies for the confusing typo in the reported paths my previous question, thanks to Simon for
providing the answer that the default repository type on the mac is now
"mac.binary.mavericks" not "mac.binary" as the docs for install.packages state.
That is incorrect. The default varies by the distribution you use. For the "regular" binary based
on 10.6+ it is "mac.binary". For the special Mavericks distribution it is
"mac.binary.mavericks".
