Change base buildpack to R to help with Python+R composability #9

Closed craig-willis closed 4 years ago

craig-willis commented 4 years ago

As noted in https://github.com/whole-tale/repo2docker_wholetale/issues/6, we currently can't support Jupyter environments that rely on R. This is also the case with the new Spark+R tale use case.

This seems to be the simplest approach to fix the problem for v0.9.

To confirm, test that the "Dataverse IRC Metrics" example actually works, or just create a new Jupyter tale that needs R.
