Adds r-universe package repositories to your options("repos") such
that they are used by default in install.packages(). If the universe
was already enabled, it will not be added again, hence it is harmless
to call this function multiple times.
add(universe = "ropensci") remove(universe)add(universe = "ropensci") remove(universe)
universe |
vector with name(s) of the universe(s), i.e. the subdomain
part of |
Note that changes to your options are not permanent. To automatically
enable a repository for every R session, you can call this function in
your ~/.Rprofile script.

All universes
everyone(type = c("all", "universes", "maintainers"))everyone(type = c("all", "universes", "maintainers"))
type |
Type of universe to query: "all", only organizations ("universe"), personal accounts ("maintainer"). |
A character vector of all universes.

Search among all universes
global_search(query, limit = 100L)global_search(query, limit = 100L)
query |
Query string. See R-universe docs. |
limit |
Number of results to return (integer of length 1) |
A list with query results. The total field indicates the
total number of results and can be used as limit value in a second call.

Downloads a full copy (snapshot) of an R package repository.

repo |
url of the cran-like repository to snapshot |
destdir |
where to save the snapshots (path). |
bin_versions |
vector with versions of R to download the win/mac binary packages. The default is to download binaries only for your local version. Set to NULL to not download any binaries. |
None, used for its side-effects.
