Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has a way to test if a package is currently being
installed. My solution was to check if environment variable "R_INSTALL_PKG"
was unset, something like:
"R CMD INSTALL-ing" <- function ()
!is.na(Sys.getenv("R_INSTALL_PKG", NA))
Unfortunately, I couldn't find what I was looking for with ?"environment
variables". So if anyone has any better methods, I'd be happy to hear them,
thank you!
Normally if you want to execute special code during installation, you'd
add a Makevars or Makefile to your package and do it there, but
R_INSTALL_PKG should be defined during a source install.
I believe that no code from the package is executed during a binary
install: it just copies files into the appropriate places.

Re: [R] Testing for R CMD INSTALL
Does ?installed.packages help?
