| \title{Select a Bioconductor Mirror} |
| \description{ |
| Interact with the user to choose a Bioconductor mirror. |
| } |
| \usage{ |
| chooseBioCmirror(graphics = getOption("menu.graphics"), ind = NULL, |
| local.only = FALSE) |
| } |
| \arguments{ |
| \item{graphics}{Logical. If true, use a graphical list: on Windows or |
| the macOS GUI use a list box, and on a Unix-alike use a Tk widget if |
| package \pkg{tcltk} and an X server are available. Otherwise use a |
| text \code{\link{menu}}.} |
| |
| \item{ind}{Optional numeric value giving which entry to select.} |
| |
| \item{local.only}{Logical, try to get most recent list from the |
| Bioconductor master or use file on local disk only.} |
| } |
| \details{ |
| This sets the \link{option} \code{"BioC_mirror"}: it is used |
| before a call to \code{\link{setRepositories}}. The out-of-the-box |
| default for that option is \code{NULL}, which currently corresponds to |
| the mirror \url{https://bioconductor.org}. |
| |
| The \sQuote{Bioconductor (World-wide)} \sQuote{mirror} is a network of |
| mirrors providing reliable world-wide access; other mirrors may |
| provide faster access on a geographically local scale. |
| |
| \code{ind} chooses a row in |
| \file{\var{\link{R_HOME}}/doc/BioC_mirrors.csv}, |
| by number. |
| } |
| \value{ |
| None: this function is invoked for its |
| side effect of updating \code{options("BioC_mirror")}. |
