Plans for R 4.1 in Fedora?
Thanks I?aki! toolbox looks really useful for my usecase. I'm hitting a related issue in that some R-* packages are not up-to-date with their CRAN versions (especially testthat, which won't compile on F35/rawhide because of a problem in catch that is bundled with testhat and something that has changed in the compiler versions in rawhide. So now I'm still stuck as I can't install the latest version of vdiffr (which I need for R 4.1) as it needs 3.0.3 of testthat. I'm also a little unclear why there are so many R-* packages in the repos now? And how these relate to your COPR-based initiative to provide fedora packages for all of CRAN. I suspect I'm hitting all the issues that Tom and you and others are having to deal with in the course of your packaging R packages for fedora, but as until recently I just compiled R myself I'm a little unsure what is the best/recommended strategy for installing R packages etc on Fedora? Use the main repo packages, your COPR, something else? Is there an overview, road map or plan somewhere that outlines this and/or what the recommended route is? TIA G

How would one go about installing R 4.1 from rawhide? (October is a
little too far away to be off r-release for that long while maintaining R packages on CRAN that depend on tidyverse packages.) $ sudo dnf update R --release rawhide should do. Be aware though that this means updating other dependencies too. This may or may not cause problems. A safer option would be to use a containerized environment. Toolbox [1, 2] is perfect for this, especially for development purposes: $ sudo dnf install toolbox $ toolbox enter -r 35 [toolbox]$ sudo dnf install R rstudio-desktop [toolbox]$ rstudio # rstudio opens or directly without entering the toolbox first: $ toolbox run -r 35 rstudio # rstudio opens Remember to install any additional repos and/or system dependencies you may need (e.g., to install R packages from source) *inside* your toolbox. Hope it helps. [1] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/toolbox/ [2] https://fedoramagazine.org/a-quick-introduction-to-toolbox-on-fedora/ I?aki

I don't think so. If Fedora 34 users want R 4.1, they can install it
from
rawhide. Or someone that isn't me can spend another two weeks doing it. :) ~spot On Fri, Jun 18, 2021, 6:50 AM I?aki Ucar <iucar at fedoraproject.org>

The R 4.1 rawhide rebuild is complete, and waiting for bodhi to
push it:
