Replying to [comment:1 mvngu]:
> As of Sage 4.3.2.alpha1, ticket #6532 upgrades R to version 2.10.1. From
what I gather, after installing an R package, one needs to restart Sage:
> It didn't say to use the command `r.restart()`.
Yes, that is a change I made since r.restart() didn't work, but in the
source it is commented that this ''should'' work.
> What about issuing `reset()` after installing an R package? It works for
me:
> Perhaps you want the command `r.restart()` to achieve the same effect as
`exit` and `reset()`? That is, one could install an R package with
`r.install_packages("pkg-name")`, run `r.reset()`, and then load the newly
installed package with `r.library("pkg-name")`?
Maybe; I am not familiar with the reset command. Maybe that is what
restart was supposed to do all along? We should ask an R expert.
> As a side note, one could not install R packages with a binary Sage
distribution.
Oh, that is bad. I wonder why? One can install optional spkgs in a
binary install, correct?
