Please, see spot's comment in the BZ I linked in my previous comment. The thing is not that it can't be done (you could install a newer devtoolset, v8 or v9, build R and use it), the thing is that it cannot be distributed in EPEL, because we're allowed to build against a devtoolset, but not depend on it, so the distribution would be broken (you could not install packages unless you know that you need a specific devtoolset, so you install and activate it).

Since I am running CentOS 7, I guess I could create a CentOS 8 docker container and install R in that? I am not planning to upgrade the system to CentOS 8.
I don't know the specifics of CentOS, but it is usually possible to build and use a private version of R, and if I read the below correctly, that might even be rather easy. The price may be that you need to build all packages from source using the same tools that you used for building R. That would probably be only mildly painful. -pd> On 31 Oct 2020, at 11:54 , I?aki Ucar <iucar at fedoraproject.org> wrote: > > Please, see spot's comment in the BZ I linked in my previous comment. > The thing is not that it can't be done (you could install a newer > devtoolset, v8 or v9, build R and use it), the thing is that it cannot > be distributed in EPEL, because we're allowed to build against a > devtoolset, but not depend on it, so the distribution would be broken > (you could not install packages unless you know that you need a > specific devtoolset, so you install and activate it). > > On Sat, 31 Oct 2020 at 02:05, Evan Cooch <evan.cooch at gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Really?

I am not planning to upgrade the system to CentOS 8.Of course, you can do that. With podman it's even easier. But then I'd use Fedora as the base image instead, because you'll enjoy binary installations for most of CRAN via Copr [1]. You even have a docker image ready to go [2].
