I was trying to be cute with a company-internal package and used
if (Sys.info()["sysname"]=="Windows") {
update.packages(repos="http://some.where.internal/R";, ask=FALSE)
}
but that of course fails as the package itself is loaded and cannot be
upgraded (as it contains a dll) when loaded. Smart move by the OS.
Can anybody suggest a workaround, other than introducing a dll-free wrapper
package that can in fact test for the local packages before it would load
them?
Placing the test into Rprofile.site is not a valid answer as that file is
hiding on each user's drive and out of my reach.
