install.packages from own rpository - depencies

2 messages · Knut Krueger, Simon Urbanek

I am trying to setup a respository for students with a own package.
Its working fine when the depended packages are already installed with:
install.packages("mypackage", 
type="source",repos="http://myrepository.example.com")

but if the the dependencies are not already installed I get the 
following error:
ERROR: dependencies 'igraph', 'chron', 'gdata' are not available for 
package 'mypackage'
* removing 'C:/.../mypackage'

You should add the repositories for the dependencies as well, e.g.:

install.packages("mypackage", type="source",repos=c("http://myrepository.example.com", "http://cran.r-project.org/"))

or make your repository more complete (e.g. if you want to pin certain versions to guarantee interoperability).

Cheers,
Simon
