One note: The "cloud" CRAN server is nowadays reachable as
https://cloud.r-project.org
and that is now the preferred URL.
Should I understand from this that it is considered advisable that I use
this URL as my default repository for downloading R and contributed
packages from CRAN? Rather than making use of my "local mirror" (in my
case http://cran.stat.auckland.ac.nz)?
I have set
options(repos="https://cloud.r-project.org")
in my .Rprofile, and everything seems to work, and go like a train. Are
there any disadvantages to so doing?
cheers,
Rolf
