makeRepo | R Documentation |
Given a list of packages, downloads these packages to a specified destination
folder using the required CRAN folder structure, and finally creates the
PACKAGES index file. Since the folder structure mimics the required
structure and files of a CRAN repository, it supports functions like
utils::install.packages()
.
makeRepo( pkgs, path, repos = getOption("repos"), type = "source", Rversion = R.version, download = TRUE, writePACKAGES = TRUE, quiet = FALSE ) updateRepoIndex(path, type = "source", Rversion = R.version)
pkgs |
Character vector of packages to download |
path |
Destination download path. This path is the root folder of your new repository. |
repos |
URL(s) of the 'contrib' sections of the repositories, e.g.
|
type |
Possible values are (currently) "source", "mac.binary" and
"win.binary": the binary types can be listed and downloaded but not
installed on other platforms. Passed to |
Rversion |
Version of R (only used if
|
download |
If TRUE downloads packages. |
writePACKAGES |
If TRUE, calls |
quiet |
If TRUE, suppress status messages (if any), and the progress bar during download. |
character vector of downloaded package files
A repository has two main folders, one for source packages, and the other
for binary packages. Inside the binary package folder, bin
, you will find
subfolders for Windows as well as the various OSX binaries.
