Install the two versions into two different R libraries: install.packages("my.package", repos = ..., lib = ...) # 1st repo/lib install.packages("my.package", repos = ..., lib = ...) # 2nd repo/lib library(my.package, lib.loc = ...) # 1st lib # use it detach(my.package, unload = TRUE) # next line may or may not be needed library.dynam.unload("my.package", system.file(package = "my.package")) library(my.package, lib.loc = ...) # 2nd lib -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ 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.
