Plans for R 4.1 in Fedora?

Is there a way to know which R components provide graphics drivers? I would
really rather not rebuild everything if we do not have to.

Hi all,
  what should be our plan for R 4.1 update in Fedora?

See [1]. The plan is to wait for the next RStudio release and
coordinate updates.

  What are the pitfalls and the changes that we should be aware?

The NEWS says: "The graphics engine version, R_GE_version, has been
bumped to 14 and so packages that provide graphics devices should be
reinstalled." But anyway, we should do the customary mass rebuild of
packages to avoid other possible incompatibilities and "Package was
built under version 4.0" messages.

  The second semester (with the corresponding induced pandemic chaos)

is

dimming down around here so I have at least time to breath again. :-)

  FWIW I am in no hurry to have 4.1 in Fedora 34, my main interest is

to

have

it in rawhide and later if we find it suitable to backport it to F34.

  FWIW since our last talk Octave (for version 7 at least) is starting

by

default to have the major version in the path for packages. :-)
