i am building an R package which rely on an older version of packages 。 so I add a line ： Remotes: local::/Users/xxx/RHome/rpk2install/scorecard_0.3.0.tar.gz in DESCRIPTION file and export an function as api: ver <- function(){ library(scorecard) return(packageVersion("scorecard")) }

but when i install library and call this "ver" function it return 0.3.2 which is the new version in R session's global environment.

how can i let my packages refer to the package i appiont in "Remotes: local::/Users/xxx/RHome/rpk2install/scorecard_0.3.0.tar.gz" ?

local remotes are directories, not tarballs, so you would have to extract the file.
