This is not a mistake. Before, there was R and R-devel (and libRmath and libRmath-devel). I got a lot of complaints and confused users who only installed R and tried to build their own modules from CRAN. These attempts failed, because... R-devel (and in some cases libRmath-devel) were not installed. After talking with the R upstream, who recommended strongly that functional CRAN out of the box was accepted behavior for the majority of users, I changed the R package structure slightly: It is now composed of: R-core (what used to be called R, doesn't have -devel deps) R-devel (same) libRmath (same) libRmath-devel (same) R (metapackage that requires R-core, R-devel, libRmath-devel) So, if you really just want functional R and you're not concerned about being sure CRAN works out of the box, just yum install R-core. |
