I'd like to have a version of a package that doesn't include sources. I thought that this could be achieved by using binary option in R CMD build, but in fact it packages source code that could be easily printed once the library is loaded. Is there an option to avoid visibility of the source? Another related question is how to install two versions of the same package, so that i could load either of them? I am sure this could be done, just cannot find this in docs. I am using R 2.12.1 on Red Hat Lunix -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-make-a-true-binary-package-tp3895117p3895117.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Is there an option to avoid visibility of the source?R is open source software ... Anyway, for C sources: these cannot be printed easily in a binary package. But then make sure your license is file given you link against something under GPL ...> Another related question is how to install two versions of the same package, > so that i could load either of them?

Is there an option to avoid visibility of the source?No. As Uwe said, R is an open source project. We like to encourage others to be open source too.
