[R] update.packages

[Paulo Justiniano Ribeiro Jr]

One possible solution is given by the function packageStatus()
In order to check and install new packages in our system here we use:

x <- packageStatus(repositories="http://cran.br.r-project.org/src/contrib")
st <- x$avai["Status"]
install.packages(rownames(st)[which(st$Status=="not installed")])
