I currently set the Bioconductor repository in my .Rprofile using this code (which needs editing for every version number change of Bioconductor):
# Choose repositories repos <- structure(c(CRAN="http://streaming.stat.iastate.edu/CRAN", CRANextra="http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin", BioCsoft="http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.7/bioc", Rforge="http://r-forge.r-project.org")) options(repos=repos) rm(repos) I'd like to avoid editing the version number. One hack to do so is this code that adds all repositories. setRepositories(ind=1:10) r <- getOption("repos") r <- r[!is.na(r)] options(repos=r) Is there a simpler way? I've searched for quite a while without finding an answer. Incidentally, the help page for "options" says: A Bioconductor mirror can be selected by setting options("BioC_mirror"): the default value is "http://www.bioconductor.org". The word "default" is a bit confusing here, because when I start R, I see: R> options()$BioC_mirror NULL -- Kevin Wright ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
