R - remove ncdf, add ncdf4 #173

Closed alaniwi closed 6 years ago

alaniwi commented 6 years ago

ncdf is not compatible with latest installed version of R, and it is not available for that version. So remove it from JAP.

Add in place ncdf4, but note that this has a different API (low-level instead of object) according to http://cirrus.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncdf/index.html

Ensure that the build specifies R version as dependency to avoid similar incompatibility in future.

Backtracking on adding exact version as dependency, it seems not sufficiently likely to be an issue in future to warrant creating obstacles to upgrading R.
