Update:
I decided to just compile and install upstream - which only took a
couple of minutes and was very straightforward.
Now - I need to find a clean way - presumably write a short R script
- to
a) update R itself and all addons
b) install a list of addons which are read from a file.
Anyone done this already ?
Thanks ...
