Question regarding release, patched, devel, and Fedora #45

Closed ismailsunni closed 5 years ago

ismailsunni commented 5 years ago

Hello,

release, patched, devel,

After I read the README, I got the impression that all docker images that have release, devel, patched in the name, have the R in its image. But, when I tried the devel and patched one, they don't have R inside it (I was expecting there are devel and patched version). I checked, that R is only available on the release one. Is there any reason behind it?

Fedora

I am looking for an R docker image based on Fedora and Arch Linux. I found in this repo it has a Fedora-based docker image, and an Arch Linux in a PR (#41). Unfortunately, I couldn't find a release version of the Fedora one. Is there any reason why? I checked the other Fedora docker image also in this repo, but it doesn't have R inside (see my previous finding).

Thanks :)

R is in /opt

Hi @gaborcsardi

Thanks for the quick answer :)

What about my 2nd question, regarding the R release version on Fedora?

gaborcsardi commented 5 years ago

We mostly follow https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html and that has no R release on Fedora. But installing R release on Fedora is easy I guess, so you can make an image easily.

Hi @gaborcsardi Ah, I see, now I understand. It seems it's better for me to create a new docker image for my purpose. Thanks for the answers :)
