Well, one question is the R-core-devel package. Currently it requires gcc-c++ and gcc-gfortran. Presumably if R were compiled with the devtoolset compiler, it would need to require those to build add-ons locally. Not sure though. That's perhaps not many people though. I'll also note that R currently BRs gcc-objc but I don't see any devtoolset gcc-objc packages. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
