Okay, so I've got a set of directories containing unpacked R packages
(unpacked, since for various sensible reasons, I'm editing them in warped
ways).
Supposing that these are in:
/home/rossini/Runpacked
I thought I could do something like:
install.packages("MyUnPackedRPackage", # top package name
lib="/home/rossini/lib/R", # where I'd like to
install
destdir="/home/faculty/rossini/sandbox/madman/Rpacks") ## assuming
## this is where it goes.
But this isn't the right incantation. I know that I could simply
shell out using system, i.e. system("R CMD install /path/to/dir"),
but is there a cleaner way?
best,
-tony
