Dear R users I have been using R for a while. However, I don't know what is the convenient way to update R to the newest version while keep all packages I previously downloaded and installed from CRAN, if updating all those packages the same will be even better. for the time being, I reinstall all those package evrytime after updating the version. Thank you. best regards yong

On what OS? If Windows, this is covered in the rw-FAQ. If other, it depends on how you install R (from sources, RPMs, etc).
