I use R-devel 3.2 in order to check "as cran" packages that I develop.
To maintain my package uptodate, I cannot use the update.packages()
directly because the packages are not still compiled for version 3.2.
Then I use:
update.packages(contriburl = contrib.url(repos=options("repos")$repos,
type="source"))
But at the time of installation, I get an error, for example:
> update.packages(contriburl =
contrib.url(repos=options("repos")$repos, type="source"))
nlme :

It works well.
It seems at .tgz is not available in CRAN mirror. It is normal ?
Is it a way to force .tar.gz to be used ?
Thanks
