Additional information

It is recommended that package repositories be synced once per day, scheduled with cron.

Begin using your new local repository, by making it accessible on your webserver. See the "contriburl" option to install.packages() (utils) for more information.

Finally, contact us if you would like to have your mirror listed on this page.

The Bioconductor master package repositories reside at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA (USA).
