#3655 fixed the behavior of
--module-only
to also cover extensions during the sanity check, which trumps the use case of generating a module file for anR
installation when not all extensions have been installed.To restore this capability, the new
--skip-extensions
options can be used in combination with--module-only
.It can also be used to install
R
(orPython
,Perl
, etc.) without extensions first, and then enhance the installation viaeb --skip
afterwards.fixes #3672
