[R-SIG-Mac] R.app Package Mgr Bug

[James Eales]

Unfortunately that didn't work for me, however I may have been doing it 
wrong, I was using 
assign(".find.package",func,envir=.GlobalEnv)

But I just looked at the R.app source
When we click "Package Manager"
it calls package.manager()
So you can just rewrite that function like this (notice the call to 
.find.package is replaced with find.package)
I might try putting this in my profile

package.manager <- function () 
{
    if (.Platform$GUI != "AQUA") 
        stop("this function is intended to work with the Aqua GUI")
    loaded.pkgs <- .packages()
    x <- library()
    x <- x$results[x$results[, 1] != "base", ]
    pkgs <- x[, 1]
    pkgs.desc <- x[, 3]
    is.loaded <- !is.na(match(pkgs, loaded.pkgs))
    pkgs.status <- character(length(is.loaded))
    pkgs.status[which(is.loaded)] <- "loaded"
    pkgs.status[which(!is.loaded)] <- " "
    pkgs.url <- file.path(find.package(pkgs), "html", "00Index.html")
    load.idx <- .Call("pkgmanager", is.loaded, pkgs, pkgs.desc, 
        pkgs.url)
    toload <- which(load.idx & !is.loaded)
    tounload <- which(is.loaded & !load.idx)
    for (i in tounload) {
        cat("unloading package:", pkgs[i], "\n")
        do.call("detach", list(paste("package", pkgs[i], sep = ":")))
    }
    for (i in toload) {
        cat("loading package:", pkgs[i], "\n")
        library(pkgs[i], character.only = TRUE)
    }
}
