I googled how to make this the new default and was pointed to .Rprofile.

I had googled a mailing list thread where it was said .Rprofile wasn’t working on OS X. It was suggested in there that this be posted to this list. I checked the archives for the last couple months but didn’t see any mention. Is this a problem that needs addressing? Or has a workaround besides sourcing .Rprofile whenever I want to install packages?
