[BioC] install package from local path with reposTools

[Axel Rasche]

Dear list,

Is it possible to install a BioConductor package from a local path?

I.e. I downloaded a BioConductor package to a local directory on my 
machine. Now I would like to install it. The package reposTools allows 
to install packages from repositories. Does it need a repository to use 
reposTools?

Thanks in advance,
Axel
