Possible feature: Install/load package from local directory

[martinzuba]

It would be great if librarian would allow for installation from local directories. This would facilitate management of personal packages that are not uploaded to github.

Any package that is already installed in R can be loaded by librarian. Your personal package can be loaded by name because you've already installed it while developing it. Librarian looks on your disk for matching packages before trying to install a package from online sources.

Hi. Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I'm aware that the personal package can be loaded by name if it is already installed. However it does not work if it is not yet installed.

I share a personal package with others, and it would be nice to be able to stock or reshelf it from (shared) local directories without uploading it to Github.

Would you consider a pull request that implements this feature?
