find_available_versions: Retrieves a list of available versions for a package.

In rbundler: Rbundler manages an application's dependencies systematically and repeatedly.

Description

Retrieves a list of available versions for a package.

Usage

find_available_versions(package, repos = getOption("repos"),
  type = getOption("pkgType"))

Arguments

package	the package name
repos	character vector, the base URL(s) of the repositories to use, e.g., the URL of a CRAN mirror such as "http://cran.us.r-project.org". Can be NULL to install from local files (with extension ‘.tar.gz’ for source packages).
type	character, indicating the type of package to download and install. Possible values are "source", "mac.binary.leopard" and "win.binary": the binary types can be listed and downloaded but not installed on other platforms. The default is the appropriate binary type on Windows and on the CRAN binary OS X distribution, otherwise "source". For the platforms where binary packages are the default, an alternative is "both" which means ‘try binary if available, otherwise try source’. (This will only choose the binary package if its version number is no older than the source version. In interactive use it will ask before attempting to install source packages.)
