single R script to install remotes

[btupper]

Script iterates through the packages identified in the YAML, returns non-zero early if an issue is encountered.

Oh, that would be a nice change for installing R packages.

I think it's missing a step to copy the install script into the container before running.

And need to copy remotes.yml in too.

Hmm, I just tried running it locally with a fake package name to see how it failed, and it just kept going instead.

[btupper]

Hmmm is right. I’ll have to look in am.

OK - looks like a brainless call to library(packagename) after the install() will help throw a real error. Of course, it is meaningless if the you are trying to re-install an existing package; let's ignore that limitation!

I'll patch it up and try again.
