It's really odd that people blog about their own inefficient scripts
rather than read the R documentation.
Because this scripts checks (very inefficiently) if a package is
already installed, it would not solve the problem discussed in this
thread. And install.packages() takes a vector of

That's a better way, indeed. I had missed your previous post, so thank you
for reposting. My original motivation for the script was to sync certain
core packages across multiple machines, but it works well for upgrades,
too. The script also provides a means of weeding out my library by not
Well, that's a bit convoluted way (I really don't see the point of that
script) - if you want to re-install packages across R versions (not the topic
of this thread!) it is far easier than that and I posted it here just a few

userLib - Sys.glob(sprintf(~/Library/R/%s.%s/library, v$major, v$minor))

No, because it
.Library.site becomes not empty when you create a site library, for example by
mkdir {PATH to R}/R/lib64/site-library
(of course lib64 assumes a 64 bit architecture)
