If you are using R.app, you can also set the mirror in the Preferences
menu. Perhaps this setting overrides the .Rprofile setting.

Googling, I was able to do this using a different mirror selected with
chooseCRANmirror(), I chose Kansas.
I googled how to make this the new default and was pointed to .Rprofile.
This doesn’t seem able to do this, with…
message(".Rprofile")
local({r <- getOption("repos")
r["CRAN"] <- "https://rweb.crmda.ku.edu/cran"
options(repos=r)})
I get…
Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or
'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
Type 'q()' to quit R.
.Rprofile
[R.app GUI 1.70 (7338) x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0]
[History restored from /Users/mjh/.Rapp.history]
Which shows the “.Rprofile” message indicating it has run.
However…
r <- getOption("repos")
r
CRAN
"http://streaming.stat.iastate.edu/CRAN"
Still shows iastate.
Then doing…
source(".Rprofile")
.Rprofile
r <- getOption("repos")
r
CRAN
"https://rweb.crmda.ku.edu/cran”
so the .Rprofile does work. R must be changing it to iastate after the profile
is run?
I had googled a mailing list thread where it was said .Rprofile wasn’t working
on OS X. It was suggested in there that this be posted to this list. I checked
the archives for the last couple months but didn’t see any mention.
Is this a problem that needs addressing? Or has a workaround besides sourcing
.Rprofile whenever I want to install packages?
