This doesn't work unless you have R-devel installed. The average R user
is a professor or a student, and neither of them are going to
necessarily possess the necessary Linux/Fedora knowledge to be able to
understand why this doesn't work like the R documentation says it
should.
Where do R packages installed this way go? I'd rather have people say "hey,
we're missing an R package" and then have that packaged up for Fedora, so we
can then later do a consistant install via kickstart. (Like perl modules,
they're generally relatively easy to package.)
Would the lake of packager be a suffisant answer ?
