Hi Tobias,
Here is something I acquired from this mailing list some years ago. It works 
well for me:

#---run in previous version (e.g. R 3.1.0)
packages <- installed.packages()[,"Package"]
save(packages, file="Rpackages_R3.1.0")

#---run in new version
load("Rpackages_R3.1.0")

for (p in setdiff(packages, installed.packages()[,"Package"]))
install.packages(p)

Hope this helps.

Jin

Subject: [DKIM] [R] Batch Installer for R

Hi everyone,

in Python, you can run pip install -r filename to install all packages listed 
in the file. Is there something similar to R? If not, isn't it quite easy to 
write?

For me, it would be much easier to work on projects with other people if I 
could just install all dependencies with one line in a generalised manner.

Did anybody try something like that before me?

Best,
Tobias
