Manage 'type' option

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Enabling bspm should set

options(pkgType="both")

Then we should honor the type option:

  • At the very least, bspm should always fallback to install.packages() if type="source". This would help with eddelbuettel/r-ci/issues/10.
  • When #41 is implemented, then this could behave as on Windows, i.e., in interactive sessions, whenever there's a source version that is newer than the binary, the user is asked whether to install this one. Not sure what happens in non-interactive sessions though.
