| chooseCRANmirror {utils} | R Documentation |
Interact with the user to choose a CRAN mirror.
chooseCRANmirror(graphics = getOption("menu.graphics"))
getCRANmirrors(all = FALSE, local.only = FALSE)
graphics |
Logical.
If true and tcltk and an X server are available, use a Tk
widget, or if under the AQUA interface use a Mac OS X widget,
otherwise use menu. |
all |
Logical, get all known mirrors or only the ones flagged as OK. |
local.only |
Logical, try to get most recent list from CRAN or use file on local disk only. |
A list of mirrors is stored in file ‘R_HOME/doc/CRAN_mirrors.csv’, but first an on-line list of current mirrors is consulted, and the file copy used only if the on-line list is inaccessible.
This function was originally written to support a Windows GUI menu
item, but is also called by contrib.url if it finds the
initial dummy value of options("repos").
None for chooseCRANmirror(), this function is invoked for its
side effect of updating options("repos").
getCRANmirrors() returns a data frame with mirror information.
