clonecache {cacher}R Documentation

Clone a remote cache

Description

Clone a remote cache or download a remote cache package

Usage

clonecache(origin, cachedir = ".cache", all.files = FALSE, id = NULL)

Arguments

origin character, URL of remote cache
cachedir character, path to local cache directory in which remote cache will be cloned
all.files logical, should all database files be downloaded?
id character, identifier for a cache packages stored in a remote archive

Details

If clonecache is given a URL via its origin argument, then that cache is cloned and (by default) all of the metadata from the remote cache is copied to the local directory indicated by cachedir. If all.files = TRUE then the database files are also downloaded.

If id is non-NULL, then the origin argument is ignored and the package corresponding to the ID is downloaded from a remote archive (as set determined by getConfig("archive").

Value

Nothing is returned; a cache directory is created and metadata are downloaded to it.
