setRepositories {utils} | R Documentation |
Interact with the user to choose the package repositories to be used.
setRepositories(graphics = getOption("menu.graphics"))

Logical. If true use a listbox, otherwise use a text list in the console. |
The default list of known repositories is stored in the file ‘R_HOME/etc/repositories’. That file can be edited for a site, or a user can have a personal copy in ‘HOME/.R/repositories’ which will take precedence.
The items that are preselected are those that are currently in
options("repos")
plus those marked as default in the
list of known repositories.
This function is invoked mainly for its side effect of updating
options("repos")
. It returns (invisibly) the previous
repos
options setting (as a list
with component
repos
) or NULL
if no changes were applied.
