repo_get: Query the currently configured CRAN-like repositories

In r-lib/pak: Another Approach to Package Installation

Query the currently configured CRAN-like repositories

Description

pak uses the repos option, see options(). It also automatically adds a CRAN mirror if none is set up, and the correct version of the Bioconductor repositories. See the cran_mirror and bioc arguments.

Usage

repo_get(r_version = getRversion(), bioc = NULL, cran_mirror = NULL)

Arguments

r_version	R version to use to determine the correct Bioconductor version, if bioc = TRUE.
bioc	Whether to automatically add the Bioconductor repositories to the result.
cran_mirror	CRAN mirror to use. Leave it at NULL to use the mirror in getOption("repos") or an automatically selected one.

Details

repo_get() returns the table of the currently configured repositories.

Value

repo_get() returns a data frame with columns:

• name: repository name. Names are informational only.

• url: repository URL.

• type: repository type. This is also informational, currently it can be cran for CRAN, bioc for a Bioconductor repository, and cranlike: for other repositories.

• r_version: R version that is supposed to be used with this repository. This is only set for Bioconductor repositories. It is * for others. This is also informational, and not used when retrieving the package metadata.

• bioc_version: Bioconductor version. Only set for Bioconductor repositories, and it is NA for others.

• username: user name, for authenticated repositories.

• has_password: whether repo_get() could find the password for this repository. Call repo_auth() for more information if the credential lookup failed.
