Hello, everybody. I apologize if this is obvious. I've not tried to make changes in R code within the R source itself before.
I'm pursuing an experiment to make RPM files for R packages on-the-fly. Any time I install an R package successfully, I want to wrap up those files in an RPM. Basically, the idea is to "hack" an option similar to --build for R CMD INSTALL. I observe in the R source code this is the file that handles installs src/library/tools/R/install.R The R DESCRIPTION file has the information required and the code in install.R is quite clear and easy to understand. I *think* I see what I need to do. But I don't understand how to test the effect of my changes without re-compiling R and re-installing it. In the installed R, there is no file "install.R", so there's no obvious place to hack on it. Is it actually necessary to recompile & re-install R every time I want to test changes to that file? pj -- Paul E.
