You misunderstand what .libPaths does: it changes the path in the
current session only. Installation uses a different R process.
Set R_LIBS to change the library path for new sessions: see ?.libPath .

Good day,
If the library path is changed with .
A nice default value for the `destfile` argument in download.file() would
be `basename(url)` i.e. the name of the downloaded file. This would
correspond to default behavior in many other web/ftp clients and makes code
slightly more concise:

Hiya,

I note that R's `data` function does not respect default.stringsAsFactors
By my lights, it should, especially as it is documented to call read.table,
which DOES respect.
Oh, but:

Thanks to help form Wes Mason at KU and Jesper Gadin in r-devel, I
compiled R-devel on RHEL 6.
R-devel requires
What the are you on about? data() does many things, only some of which
call read.table() et al., and the ones that do have no special treatment of
stringsAsFactors.

Changing the vapply() behavior makes sense in principle.
Sorry to disagree, Changing the behavior of sapply() so we end up
with consistent treatment of USE.NAMES across sapply(), vapply(),
and mapply() sounds much better *in principle*.

Hi Peter,
Sorry if I was not clear. Perhaps an example will make my point:

As Peter pointed out.
data loads data from packages. Various formats are supported. The package
author(s) will decide how best to ship (and load) any such data.
When you call `data(iris)`, it loads iris as it is defined in the datasets
package
The definition can be seen here:
