Comment:
Hmm, I don't mind this in theory. I'd want to test it out a little. Can
you point to one of the R announcements where they end up fixing this?
They have ''very'' detailed and thorough announcements, which I usually
cannot make it all the way through when searching for this sort of thing.
Also, does this mean we don't need libpango or cairo or all that stuff?
Or would we still need that?
Some relevant things.
* Re: #8868 - One concern is whether it ''always'' makes graphics work -
OS X, Linux, Solaris. Otherwise I wouldn't want to re-enable the
doctests, which are currently optional. If they work, then this ticket
should enable them.
* Great idea on the r-project. I always put R things that are not about
statistics per se in the "packages" component. I'm updating others now.
* Leif has put a lot of work in separating rpy from R at #9906. I'm not
sure what should have priority, though, given that we are fairly behind
the times and reviewing #9906 is a boatload of work.
Here are a bunch of other relevant tickets which perhaps (?) should be
addressed here, or at least mentioned.
* #7865 R on 64-bit Solaris C and Fortran mixing
* #7664 R and Latex
* #9668 hardcoding paths in R binary
* #11970 readline issues on Oneric Ocelot or something
* #10967 more issues with the script
* #11249 R graphics occasionally living in weird places
