Hello, I am trying to set my environment to streamline the downloading / updating of packages. I have been through R-intro.html (10.8 Customizing-the-environment), R-FAQ (5.2 How can add-on packages be installed?), rw-FAQ, and help pages for Sys.setenv {base}, download.packages {utils}, etc.,.
I am looking for something similar to the download.packages destdir argument on a global environment level, e.g., destdir <- 'C:/Program Files/_dave/stats/R/library/_download' in Rprofile.site. Any suggestions? Also, in a more general context, is there a way of listing all available (or common, or default, or standard, . . .) environment variables? I would like to know if there is an existing convention for any arbitrary process that I may try to do without reinventing the wheel. This same question could apply to options() other than those included with a standard installation. Thanks, DaveT. ************************************* Silviculture Data Analyst Ontario Forest Research Institute Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ofri.mnr.gov.on.ca ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
