It is known that Bioconductor mirrors require a configuration file (usually https://bioconductor.org/config.yaml) to work properly. However, I'm working in a environment that has very unstable network access to this default config url.
In BiocManager, I use BIOCONDUCTOR_CONFIG_FILE to specify a custom url for the config file. I note that pak use the environmental variable R_BIOC_CONFIG_URL for the same function.
It will be nice if pak (pkgcache) can recognize the BIOCONDUCTOR_CONFIG_FILE option as well, which will make pak easier to configure in environments that already rely on BiocManager.
