Installing Packages from a Local Repository

You have to specify the repository as "file:Q:/Integrated Planning/R" (and I am not entirely sure if blanks are supported). Best, Uwe Ligges

Hi everyone,
I've followed the instructions from R-Admin Section 6.6 for creating a
local repository. I've modified my Rprofile.site file to add the local
repository to my repos, but I haven't been able to successfully install my
package from the repo.
Here's the code that I've run.

I'd really like to be able to use "install.packages("RTIO")" without having
to specify the repo, as this will make it easy for our other less
experienced R users.
Any ideas why I get "warning: cannot open compressed file" and "error:
cannot open the connection"? As far as I can tell, I've followed the
R-Admin 6.6 instructions exactly.
If it matters, Q: is a mapped network drive.

Actually, that's not right: see ?url. All URI schemes start like
file:// . For Windows the help says
In this form the path is relative to the root of the filesystem,
not a Windows concept. The standard form on Windows is
?file:///d:/R/repos?: for compatibility with earlier versions of R
and Unix versions, any other form is parsed as R as ?file://? plus
?path_to_file?. Also, backslashes are accepted within the path
even though RFC1738 does not allow them.
Spaces should work, since it is R which converts this to a filepath (in
a real URI there are lots of restrictions and spaces need to be encoded
if the restrictions are enforced). But file:// URIs on Windows are a
minefield.
