Below is a makefile I wrote to download and install all available R
packages
from the CRAN and BioConductor package repositories.
The primary advantage of using this makefile instead of R's built-in
install.package() and update.packages() is the creation of a separate
installation log for every package. Further, if make is invoked with
'-k',
failure to install a single package will not derail the installation
of
other packages.
I hope that this script may be useful to other folks.
