Pull request #58 includes some sample code in the vignette to demonstrate how to use the file:/// URI to point to a local miniCRAN repository.

We should in general improve the documentation to demonstrate this, e.g:

  • vignette
  • in makeRepo()
  • in README
  • in package level documentation

Also, create documentation with instructions on how to expose a miniCRAN via HTTP, to act like a "real" mirror.

That sounds great, more docs along these lines will make this package very user friendly.

  • addLocalPackage (new function to add a local package #23) needs documentation/examples.
  • I have a version of a document (and script) that provides instructions for setting up http miniCRAN server using nginx, but I haven't updated it since Ubuntu 14.04, so I would need help updating and testing. The instructions really should provide https instructions.

FYI I had some trouble trying to install from a local directory on macOS using "file:///". Instead, using file.path("file:", repo_dir) works fine on linux and macOS.

Here "repo_dir" is the base directory and the package are in, for example, file.path(repo_dir, "src/contrib")
