Hi,
Is is possible to embed inside an R script, the name of the default
packages to be loaded when the script is invoked with Rscript.
I know about the --default-packages argument, but I was wondering if
there was a mechanism to embed this information within the script
itself
I don't understand what you'd want here that you don't get with
attach()
or require(). Why does it matter if they are default?

Sorry for being vague. I am more interested in not loading some
packages:
$ time Rscript -e "#"
real 0m0.224s
user 0m0.188s
sys 0m0.032s
$ time Rscript --default-packages="base" -e "#"
real 0m0.067s
user 0m0.033s
sys 0m0.016s
$ time r -e "#"
real 0m0.039s
user 0m0.032s
sys 0m0.006s
This is related to the "How to ship R scripts with R packages"
thread. I'd like for example to ship a script that I know only
requires the "base" package. How would I specify this from within
the script.
Well, what's wrong with:
#!/usr/bin/Rscript --default-packages=base
ginaz:sandbox$ time ./scr
real 0m0.045s
user 0m0.027s
sys 0m0.017s
.. as opposed to
#!/usr/bin/Rscript --default-packages=base
ginaz:sandbox$ time ./scr
real 0m0.201s
user 0m0.166s
sys 0m0.034s
Cheers,
Simon
