Re: [ESS] R 4.0
macOS filesystems are indeed case insensitive by default (you can
format with sensitivity enabled if you like), but this is not
necessarily a concern here.
On macOS, R is typically installed as a "framework". In that case we
use RSwitch.app to change the version that the `R` symlink points
to. Maybe other users have a different experience, but I've never used
the special `R-` runners that ESS creates.
Best,

No:
edd@rob:~$ r --version | head -1
r ('littler') version 0.3.9
edd@rob:~$ R --version | head -1
R version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) -- "Holding the Windsock"
edd@rob:~$
Also, remember that R CMD calls for 25 years into i.e. INSTALL to avoid
/usr/bin/install from GNU? Same reason.
The only "famous" and very braindead exception is macOS where I recommend
littler users build it as 'lr' because there (and only there) r == R.

Re: [ESS] R 4.0
I think we could stick to capital `R-`. A few false positives, if any, are probably harmless.

Re: [ESS] R 4.0
I have some TeX-related stuff: r-mpost r-pmpost r-upmost I don't know what they do, I assume they were pulled in as part of texlive.

[ESS] R 4.0
I have just updated ESS using list-packages. R-4.0 is not found due to the value of ess-r-runners-prefixes. This can of course be customized, but I think it should be changed to include "R-4" -- Best, Kasper [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ ESS-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help
