[Rd] persistence of data

[Romain Francois]

Hello,

I am developing a package that needs data to persist between sessions of 
R (For example a sqlite database file, or simple dumps of R data with 
save/load). What I am using so far is :

file.path( Sys.getenv( "HOME"), ".R", "myPackage" )

but I was wondering if I am missing an "official" way to do this, 
similar to system.file does for installed packages. I am aware of the 
inst directory but this does not solve the problem in cases where the 
library is read only.

Romain
