R-package-devel has been created, aons after R-devel, to *help* R package developers to get their packaging problems solved, notably to get advice in making their packages ready for CRAN. Julian's question was really addressing the whole R developer community asking if some functionality was desirable to be added to the R-package space. For me one *the* appropriate topics for this R-devel mailing list.

Re: [Rd] Feature request: Change default library path on Windows
The default was now changed in R-devel to the local application data (e.g. C:\Users\username\AppData\Local), which should solve the issues with synchronization/backup/etc services and seems to be more in line with conventions for the OS. It is a hidden folder, to open in Windows explorer one can use e.g. shell.exec() from R. Best Tomas On 7/27/21 1:12 PM, Tomas Kalibera wrote: On 7/26/21 1:44 AM, Steve Haroz wrote: Thanks Ben. I just sent a request for a bugzilla login. Jeroen chimed in earlier in support. Please note this has been reported, discussed and considered already, last time in PR#17842 (though proposing a different replacement for the default). I think changing the default from user documents to something else would make sense to consider together with some other breaking change for users, not in isolation, if at all. While the change may help users with a quota on the documents directory (e.g. shared on a cloud, backup, etc), it will make it harder to find the library for others, who would not notice the change to the documented behavior, and I assume that would still be a much larger group. Of course it does not help that it is not clear what the correct location should be now, and certainly there is little hope it won't change again, soon. My understanding is that the choice was originally correct when made, following the Microsoft guidelines. As discussed here as well, users may choose their own library path (?.libPaths). The installation location for R itself can be changed e.g. via /DIR option of the installer (see /?). This is useful e.g. when installing R only for the current user (/CURRENTUSER) and it impacts also the location of the library - it is then inside the given tree.
