Hello,
Before pushing this out, I was hoping that somebody could test the new R
package for SL5. I think it's ok, but it's a new version and since I don't
use it, I'm not positive it's correct. This is R version 2.5.0
First reports are positive in at least that a bunch of 'simple stats
examples' ran through and gave the expected results. Tomorrow I hope our
(fairly) tame statistitian will have time to test it harder.
BTW in the file /usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron there are some changes (between
2.4.1 and 2.5.0) which I'm not sure I follow.
-R_PLATFORM=${R_PLATFORM-'i386-redhat-linux-gnu'}
+R_PLATFORM=${R_PLATFORM-'i686-redhat-linux-gnu'}
is presumably fair enough if i686 is what the platform claims to be and:
-EGREP=${EGREP-'grep -E'}
+EGREP=${EGREP-'/bin/grep -E'}
is presumably safer but:
-R_ZIPCMD=${R_ZIPCMD-'/usr/bin/zip'}
+R_ZIPCMD=${R_ZIPCMD-''}
makes little or no sense to me and I don't feel qualified to comment on
the addition of:
+R_LIBS_USER=${R_LIBS_USER-'~/R/i686-redhat-linux-gnu-library/2.5'}
at all.
Are these all planned/expected changes?
