Hi Herve,
can you please also check it in to /madman/installScripts (or to some
other documented place). I like to have the line
source("/home/huber/madman/installScripts/biocLite.R")
in my .Rprofile to avoid typing the tedious URL all the time.
Here is my solution: put the following in ~/.Rprofile
tryCatch({
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
}, error=function() NULL)
This way, if I'm not connected to the net, I don't get an error.
Since you can't use biocLite without net connectivity anyhow, I don't
see a real advantage of sourcing from local disk instead. And there
is a disadvantage in going from svn: it may not correspond with what
is currently posted on the website and therefore may not work as
expected.
