Hi, I have searched the archive for the solution of this question, but couldn't find anything, so I thought I would ask here.
I am using R on a Debian (testing) system. Many of the R packages I use are installed as .deb packages, those which are not available in this format I install using install.packages. When calling update.packages, sometimes the R repository version is more recent than the Debian package, and update.packages offers to update it which I don't want because the new debianized version will be out soon. Is it possible to have update.packages recognize that these are "systemwide" packages and ignore them when updating? Or is manual selection of what to update the only option?
