1. It looks like R 3.1.0 is back in the Fedora updates-testing
repository. I just installed it and re-ran my install scripts.
2. A fair number of library packages appear to have been built around
the libRblas or libRlapack library. The ones I have had to re-install
so far are:
'robustbase',
'slam',
'quadprog',
'RcppEigen',
'gnm',
'ape',
'igraph',
'tseries',
'fracdiff',
'forecast',
and there are probably others - these are just the ones that crashed
while being test-loaded during *other* installs!
To be on the safe side I'd recommend re-installing all of your R
packages after you upgrade from R 3.0.2 to R 3.1.0. I'm going to post
a script to do that on the Fedora bugzilla entry as soon as I get a
chance to run it. And if you're using RStudio, I know the preview
release Version 0.98.836 (May 11th, 2014) works but I don't know if
they've backported the fix to their stable release.
