从私人SVN安装R包

Question

I have a private svn accessible via http after a login and I am able to read it with a simple curl , like so:

curl --user username:password http://myrepo/mypackage/trunk

Is there a way to get the same behaviour and install the package in R using install.packages() ?

The following returns a 401 Unauthorized error:

install.packages("http://myrepo/mypackage/trunk", repos = NULL, type = "source")

Answer 1

This seems to work:

install.packages("http://myrepo/mypackage/trunk", repos = NULL, type = "source", method="curl", extra = "--user username:password")

Alternatively with the following the password is requested and typed interactively:

 install.packages("http://myrepo/mypackage/trunk", repos = NULL, type = "source", method="curl", extra = "--user=username --password=pwd")

Similarly it works with wget:

 install.packages("http://myrepo/mypackage/trunk", repos = NULL, type = "source", method="wget", extra = "--user=username")
