[R-SIG-Mac] problem with options("pkgType") in a home-built R 2.2.0

[Jan de Leeuw]

No need to set type to course every time you use it.

This is what I have in Rprofile.site. I use R from
Emacs or Terminal, so quartz() is useless and I
joyfully travel back to the eighties with X11 and
tcl/tk.


local({
        options(device="x11")
        options(repos="http://cran.r-project.org")
        options(pkgType="source")
        old <- getOption("defaultPackages")
        options(defaultPackages = c(old, "tcltk"))
      })

.First <- function() cat("\n   Welcome to Jan's R-2.3.0 !\n\n")
