Usage

Arguments

startNew

Default FALSE, compare user's environment with name table shipped with this package, only update difference. If True, build from scratch.

Details

Use installed.packages() to check DESCRIPTION file for each package folder, more accurate than checking name only. R help cautioned it be slow if thouands of packages available, but checking 300 ~ 400 packages didn't have significant performance difference. It's recommended to always use this unless it's too slow for you.

Value

list(pkg_to_add, pkg_to_remove)
