Hi Prof. Ripley,
There is in fact a parallel source repository (see my initial email):
L:/R/src/contrib
I had also run tools:write_PACKAGES() therein, generating an empty PACKAGES
file as I have chosen not to release source packages.
I would like to make two comments.
First, I believe the
Your subject line isn't truthful. At the very least you are talking
about binary packages on Windows using a file:// repository ('local'
does not usually mean that, and is specified by NULL).
I think you have not understood the NEWS item: most likely you do not
have a parallel source reposito
