No idea how difficult this would be but... Perhaps there could be a system and local help indices (defined by R_LIBS). If a package is installed in a local package library, I don't really see the point of adding an entry in a global index. > - provide a switch such as --no-indices for the R CMD tools? Or perhaps making the failure to write into the index a warning and not a fatal error? Not updating the help index seems unfatal to me. > short time workaround: simply give users write access to the few > files that have to write to. Yep.
