Hi,

First, RHEL and related distributions (e.g. Fedora), have a dedicated R-SIG 
list:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora

Future queries in this domain should be submitted there, as many of the RH 
package maintainers (e.g. Tom Callaway, aka Spot) read that list.

Second, as you may be already aware, R is available via the EPEL, not the 
regular RH repos:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

Third, you can check the current status of RH related R builds in two places:

Bodhi, which is the RPM distribution framework - 
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=R

Koji, which is the build framework - 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=1230


It would appear that Tom is in the process of preparing a 3.3.0 release, but I 
would defer to him on the time frame for release, which generally requires that 
testers provide the requisite feedback to increase the "karma" to a 
pre-specified level.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz

If I am not mistaken, R is not available from the RH repo. It is available from 
Fedora's EPEL repo for RH, CentOS and the like. I use Fedora and I have noticed 
that 3.3 is in testing repo there. You may want to install it and provide 
feedback on bodhi if you want a faster move to EPEL (and Fedora) repos.

[R] R for RedHat Linux upgrade?

[phiroc]

Hello,

does anyone know when the R 3.3 binary for RH Linux 7 will be available from 
the RedHat Repository?

One of my R scripts, which uses ggplot2, works fine in RStudio 3.24 on Windows, 
but doesn't display any graphics in RStudio Server 3.23 on Linux RH 7.

I would like to upgrade the server's R version, but only R v. 3.23 is available 
from the RH Repository.

Many thanks.

Phiroc
