I have roughly 80 or so packages sources. These were obtained by taking
a snapshot of certain CRAN packages a few months ago using
install.packages(
pkgs = pckNames,
destdir = "/home/max",
repos = "http://cran.r-project.org";
dependencies = c("Depends", "Imports", "Suggests"))
We need to install these versions of the packages across a few different
architectures/systems (linux, solaris, 32- and 64-bit). Right now, we
are constrained to version 2.5.1 (I know, I know).
Right now, I'd use
tarList <- list.files()
tarList <- grep(".tar.gz", tarList, fixed = TRUE, value = TRUE)
install.packages (tarList, repos = NULL)
to install, but the package dependencies are ignored. For example, XML
gets installed after other packages that depend on it.
I've looked through ?install.packages and I have tried using
install.packages (
tarList, repos = NULL,
dependencies = c("Depends", "Imports", "Suggests"))
but this did not appear to change the install ordering.
Is there a simpler way to do this rather than trial and error?
Thanks,
Max
