Is there a utility which will allow me to upgrade my R version and update all packages from the old version? If I manually upgrade, then I have to manually re-install 50 packages. Thank you. Stephen B [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Dear Stephen Does section 2.8 in the Windows FAQ help you?

?update.packages Should take care of packages. Manually reinstalling R binaries seems straightforward enough that it isn't much of a burden; but installing from source may be a different story, depending on your OS. The RStudio interface automates much of this, but it may not be enough for you or what you want.

Try the installr package. It was designed for this purpose.
