[BioC] reposTools: problem with download.packages2

[Matthias Burger]

Hi,

i used the following calls to download all of Windows packages stored
on the BioC CRAN mirror, but the executions tops with an error report on
a package (CoCo) only available as source pkg.

Did I make a mistake, or misunderstand the docu? I had thought the type
argument would take care of this?

Thanks for any adivse how to get this working.

Regards,

   Matthias
