So far I see many packages that allow R to consume WebServices, but I
haven't seen anything that allows you to publish a package as a WebService.
If you haven't already, look at the RWebServices package from
Bioconductor.

While I agree that this can be an issue, I don't think it is fair to

Can you add some details?
Suppose i have the package Model.tar.gz and my writable are is in user/area,
what i have to do next to install the package?
What I was picturing was something like this (forgive me if syntax isn't
100%):
mkdir user/area/myRLib
R CMD INSTALL --library=user/area/myRLi
One problem is that i have not the privileges to install a package.
If you have a writable area you can install to there with the
--library=LIB argument and then load the package using the lib.loc command.

Even loadRDS/saveRDS or readRDS/writeRDS would be better than the current combo.
You could change the CSV functions to readCSV and writeCSV :)

Hi ...
I came across an old post on R-devel that describes a situation very
similar to one I find myself in:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-December/043917.html
As you can see in Gregor's example, the situation is that if I am writing
Pkg A, I want to detect if Pkg B exists - if
f1 <- function(){
a=5
}
The primary difference is that function 1 uses an incorrect assignment
operator in an attempt to cause confusion ;)
