[R] install.packages problem

It seems that installed.packages has changed behavior in 3.2.0.
We have a local package repository containing only binaries of packages (for Windows).

Since 3.2.0, using install.packages for a package form such a repository does not work any more.
The solution is to add the parameter type=“binary”.

The documentation mentions that

options(install.packages.check.source = "no”)

suppresses check for source version of the packages, but
using this and install.packages without type=“binary” produces an error because
seemingly there still is a check for the source version of the package.
