Dear Jason,
I don't know if this interests you, but one thing you might want to do
while 'upgrading' (in fact it is just a new installation) is re-install
all the packages that were installed on your previous R version.
I made a small script to do so:
###
reinst.pack <- function(pathToOldR){
instDir <- paste(pathToOldR,"/library/",sep="")
pack <- dir(instDir)
basePack <- sub("/base","", system.file())
basePack <- dir(basePack)
pack <- setdiff(pack,basePack)
pack
install.packages(pkg=pack)
}
###
You just have to launch the script from your new R version, giving it
the path to the old version of R.
For instance I had to do:
###
> reinst.pack("/usr/local/lib64/R-2.6.0/")
also installing the dependency ‘spam’

It should work if you packages where installed at the default place.
Cheers,
Thibaut.

Hi,
I am aware this is somehow FAQ question but I ve been searching from
R-cran
archive about the related matter and could not find anything closer
to this.
I want to upgrade my R version from 2.5.1. to 2.7.1. What is the best
way to
load the latest one apart from installing the packages (tar.gz) from
http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/?
Please help.
Thanks..
