getReposEntry {reposTools} | R Documentation |
Will retrieve repository information from a specified repository, and pass back a ReposEntry object containing this information.
getReposEntry(repURL, repFile = "replisting", rddFile = "repdatadesc.rda", rtFile = "repThemes.rda")
repURL |
URL of the repository |
repFile |
Name of the remote replisting file |
rddFile |
Name of the remote dataframe RDA file. |
rtFile |
Name of the remote theme RDA file. |
More often then not, it will be more convenient for a user interacting
with an R session to use the function repositories
.
The symbolic names used to reference the URLs in the
repositories2
option can also be used for the repURL
argument.
The latter three options should be left to the defaults in almost all cases.
The remote replisting and (if available) repdatadesc.rda and repThemes.rda files are downloaded from the specified repository and combined to form a ReposEntry object.
The constructed ReposEntry object, or NULL on failure.
