Hi I am using R version 2.4.1. How can I upgrade to version 2.5 without having to install all the packages again?

I find it easier to install all the packages again: #---run in previous version packages <- installed.packages()[,"Package"] save(packages, file="Rpackages") #---run in new version load("Rpackages") for (p in setdiff(packages, installed.packages()[,"Package"])) install.packages(p)> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch > [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Robert > A LaBudde > Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 5:39 PM > To: R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: Re: [R] upgrade to 2.5 > > At 01:41 PM 5/2/2007, you wrote: > >On 5/2/07, Sundar Dorai-Raj <sundar.dorai-raj at pdf.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Iasonas Lamprianou said the following on 5/2/2007 8:25 AM: > > > > Hi I am using R version 2.4.1.

I usually install a new version over the old one (in the same directory). I did this since R 1.xx, using windows 2000 and then windows XP. No bugs were found, everything always works fine.

Why do you wish to upgrade to 2.5, it is not the current release! You should upgrade to 2.8.1.
