Rainer, I am definitively interested. But, as a disclaimer, I am an elderly Gynecologist only dabbling in R and a little in Perl :-)-O. el

New thread :-)-O I am wondering if I should not try to figure out how automate this. Is there a way of (only) listing all user installed (additional) packages, ie not the ones that come with R?
I had something similar in mind - here is my repo which collects ides (no code yet) https://github.com/rkrug/install If you are interested, we could get this going. If I understand correctly, this would be very useful in many cases.
Look at the "Priority" column in installed.packages(). "base" is part of R, "recommended" is normally distributed with R. "recommended" packages can be updated after R is installed, "base" packages can't.
That is a good idea. We should take this forward.
If you just copy all the packages to the new library that aren't already there, and run update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE) R will re-install everything that was originally installed under an earlier version.
Cheers, Rainer
