[R] Difficulty with R CMD INSTALL

[Paul Gilbert]

Brian

BDR>When developing a package I tend to INSTALL it several times and run
a few
BDR>tests each time, then use R CMD check --no-clean to refine it (not
BDR>re-installing from scratch each time), and finally R CMD check then
R CMD
BDR>build.

I've been assuming the logic was to run R CMD check  first and then R
CMD INSTALL.   I don't think check uses the installed version, so I
guess it doesn't matter, but is there some other reason for doing
install before check? (Or are you just distinguishing development mode
from the normal mode once a package is developed?)
