hi all, is there a new mechanism in R 2.3.0 for copying libraries from, say, R 2.2.1 to R 2.3.0? i ask because gabor grothendieck comments in his copydir.bat (from gabor's batchfiles at: http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/batchfiles/batchfiles_0.2-5.zip ): ``:: I personally upgraded my 2.1.0 to 2.2.0 this way so it seems ok until :: R replaces this with something better which is expected for 2.3.0.

In http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/batchfiles/batchfiles_0.2-5.zip are two Windows XP batch files: movedir.bat copydir.bat which will move the packages (which is much faster and suitable if you don't need the old version of R any more) or copy the packages (which takes longer but preserves the old version). 2. x <- installed.packages()[,1] install.packages(x) 3. This is one reason we normally recommend that you install into a separate library. Then update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE) is all that is needed. However, foo <- installed.packages() as.vector(foo[is.na(foo[, "Priority"]), 1]) will give you a character vector which you can feed to install.packages(), so it's not complex to do manually. 4.

[R] copying previously installed libraries to R 2.3.0
