Feature suggestion: Optionally copy Rprofile.site

[rsuhada]

Thanks for the nice package, it just saved me a lot of hassle.

A small suggestion - a further step could be added after the libs are copied to copy also the etc/Rprofile.site

Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words rsuhada.
You suggest a good idea, I will look into it for future releases.

With regards,

Yes, this seems to be the only thing missing from my install workflow, so seeing this would be great. Thanks for the package!

Dear rsuhada and leeper,
I have now pushed, to github, version 0.15.9 of installr.
As you will see here:
https://github.com/talgalili/installr/blob/master/NEWS.md
This version now has the option to copy Rprofile.site from the old version of R to the newer one.

The patch is to the function updateR, which can be viewed here:

It might take some time until I'll push this to CRAN. Until then, you can install it using:

if (!require('devtools')) install.packages('devtools'); require('devtools')
# make sure you have Rtools installed first! if not, then run:
#install.packages('installr')
#install_Rtools()
devtools::install_github('talgalili/installr')

With regards,
Tal
