Select a Bioconductor Mirror

Description

Interact with the user to choose a Bioconductor mirror.

Usage

chooseBioCmirror(graphics = getOption("menu.graphics"))

Arguments

graphics

logical. If true, use a graphical list: on Windows or Mac OS X GUI use a list box, and on a Unix-alike if package tcltk and an X server are available, use a Tk widget. Otherwise use a text menu.

Details

This sets the option "BioC_mirror": it needs to be used before a call to setRepositories.

In addition to the Bioconductor master site (in Seattle, USA), there currently are mirrors in Bethesda (USA), Dortmund (Germany), Bergen (Norway) and Cambridge (UK).

Value

None: this function is invoked for its side effect of updating options("BioC_mirror").
