| It would be convenient if the packaging system asked once for selection of a
CRAN mirror when installing R and configured this selection to
/etc/R/Rprofile.site so that the user didn't get asked to pick a CRAN mirror
each time when using install.packages.().
I think this is best left to local user / administrator. I set mine in
~/.Rprofile. The overall philosophy of the install process has moved towards
asking as few questions as possible -- with 1200, 1300, 1400, ... packages
you really don't want to answer all of them.
In this particular case, /etc/R/Rprofile.site even contains commented-out
code that sets a repo according to the user's preferences. That is about all
we can do now I am afraid.
