[R-pkg-devel] CRAN incoming feasibility Error

[Seth Wenchel]

Actually, all of those switches came in as i was trying to resolve this
issue.I started with just R CMD check --as-cran.  In fact, my Rprofile.site
does have a similar statement and sets a proxy but it doesn't seem good
enough for the CRAN checks.

### Rprofile.site contents
Sys.setenv(http_proxy="http://proxy.mitre.org:80")

local({
  r <- getOption("repos")
  r["CRAN"] <- "http://watson.nci.nih.gov/cran_mirror/"
  r["MITRE"] <- "http://mcran.mitre.org"
  options(repos=r)
})

  options(help_type="html")


### few switches output
