I am running R 4.6 under CentOS 7 but would like to upgrade. Just found that 4.0 is available for CentOS 8 but could it be released for CentOS 7 as well? If so, that would be great!
R 4.0 for CentOS 7

Please, do not crosspost. As I said in the Bugzilla issue, R cannot be further updated in EPEL-7, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1871685#c2. I?aki

I see. Is anyone running R 4.0 on CentOS 7? If so, how do you do it?
Really? If I?aki says it can't be done (even using devtools, which I've tried), then you need to move on.

Please, see spot's comment in the BZ I linked in my previous comment. The thing is not that it can't be done (you could install a newer devtoolset, v8 or v9, build R and use it), the thing is that it cannot be distributed in EPEL, because we're allowed to build against a devtoolset, but not depend on it, so the distribution would be broken (you could not install packages unless you know that you need a specific devtoolset, so you install and activate it).

Understood. Since I am running CentOS 7, I guess I could create a CentOS 8 docker container and install R in that? I am not planning to upgrade the system to CentOS 8.
I don't know the specifics of CentOS, but it is usually possible to build and use a private version of R, and if I read the below correctly, that might even be rather easy. The price may be that you need to build all packages from source using the same tools that you used for building R. That would probably be only mildly painful. -pd

Of course, you can do that. With podman it's even easier. But then I'd use Fedora as the base image instead, because you'll enjoy binary installations for most of CRAN via Copr [1]. You even have a docker image ready to go [2]. (Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of that project).

OK, since I am already running CentOS, I may still stick with CentOS but your point is well-taken. I also prefer to define my containers myself so I have full control - and understand - how they are set up... I have come across COPR but it is not among my repos, I need to learn more. Thank you!
