Deprecated Functions in Package utils

Description:

     These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions
     of R only, and may be defunct as soon as of the next release.

Usage:

     CRAN.packages(CRAN = getOption("repos"), method,
                   contriburl = contrib.url(CRAN))

Arguments:

    CRAN: character, an earlier way to specify a repository.

  method: Download method, see 'download.file'.

contriburl: URL(s) of the contrib section of the repositories. Use this
          argument only if your CRAN mirror is incomplete, e.g.,
          because you burned only the 'contrib' section on a CD. 
          Overrides argument 'repos'.
