Will,
Below are the contents of my Rprofile.site file. It makes sure that I
have all of the packages I use regularly always up to date every time I
start R.
I don't know if it is the "smart" way, but it works for me. I'd be more
than happy to get suggestions on improvements from the expeRts.
Cheers,
eric

Hi,
when updating R I continuously face the problem that I have to
reinstall packages or copy them into the new R library path.
Is there a smart way of configuring R (.Rprofile) so the packages
installed under older R versions (different lib paths) are
included/found by newer R versions (e.g. R site archive).
What problems due to version conflicts/out-of-date packages can arise?
I am working with R on a Linux server.
Thanks in advance,
Will
