Because it has been my experience that people *just* do that (ie. the *just* copy the libraries, as the OP asked). But as you correctly point out: > Note that the Windows upgrade FAQ > (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#What_0027s-the-best-way-to-upgrade_003f) > says to do exactly that. There is a way to copy the old package and then ensure that they are updated to the versions that build correctly on the newest version of R. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Computational Biologist Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Genentech ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
