I noticed that some of my R packages that have been repacked in fedora are quite outdated, including: - R-curl - R-openssl - R-xml2 These packages will need to be updated to work with the latest versions of libcurl, libxml2, libssl, because each of these upstream libs has had breaking changes recently.
Updating some rpm R packages

Yeap, many packages are outdated because we lack hands, time for the hands available, and the current guidelines do not scale very well. Also there are other, better, solutions for getting binary packages, including yours, and including my own Copr repo for Fedora, so I only update packages in the official repos when I'm forced to (e.g. when they fail and block an R update). Or if you poke me a bit. Thanks for the heads-up. Updated now. I?aki
