[R-sig-Debian] New Debian packages using /usr/share/R as well as /usr/lib/R
R always had all its files below /usr/lib/R, which isn't perfectly in line with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). We did get some bug reports on this, and I tried to argue for a while that this was consistent upstream behaviour etc pp I would expect the issue to come back again. Brian Ripley had made some changes to R a few months ago which allow to split doc/, include/ and share/ off into /usr/share/R. The set of R 2.2.1-3 packages now available at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/debian/ uses this. Ans while "It works for me" so far, I would appreciate additional testing. Thanks, Dirk -- Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something. -- Thomas A. Edison

I should know this but ... Is it possible to add some version of the URL you give below to /etc/apt/sources.list so that I can use wajig build r-base-core to download and build the new package?

Thanks for catching that! I'll try to fix this, that was not intentional. Dirk -- Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something. -- Thomas A. Edison
Possibly Parallel Threads
- Support for noarch packages in /usr/share/R/library
- Poll: Does R_PAPERSIZE in /etc/R/Renviron matter?
- setting the environment variable R_LIBS
- /usr/lib/R/library vs /usr/local/lib/R/site-library
- change default path for installing r-cran packages by sudo apt r-cran...?
