Comment 1 Stefan Grosse 2010-11-07 20:12:32 UTC
It must be RKward since emacs and console work.

Comment 2 Pierre-YvesChibon 2010-11-07 21:24:47 UTC
RKward needs to be rebuild for each major release of R, but this has nothing to do with the update since the update came out before the release of R 2.12.0.

I cannot build against R 2.12.0 yet as it is only available in updates-testing at the moment. I will not be able to ask for buildroot overwrite this week. 
But I will build the new RKward for rawhide.

So you could either take it from there or rebuild the rpm from the srpm of the build.

Comment 3 Pierre-YvesChibon 2010-11-07 21:42:52 UTC
There is the build for rawhide: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2585363

Comment 4 Stefan Grosse 2010-11-08 08:33:26 UTC
I don't know what buildroot overwrite means. I have no problem picking the rawhide rpm but it could be that there are some more complaints by other users when R-2.12.0 gets pushed to stable. Karma is 2 at the moment.

Thanks anyway.

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2010-11-09 07:14:43 UTC
A buildroot override is a request to release engineering which allows building packages against some other package which is not in the stable updates yet (but only in updates-candidate (i.e. just built updates still pending push to anywhere) or updates-testing).

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2010-11-09 16:07:00 UTC
The R update is stable now, so the Rkward update can be built without a buildroot override now, and must be built ASAP!

This should really have been pushed as a group. You (anyone who commented here before November 8, which is when the stable push happened) should have given negative karma to the R update. It is completely unacceptable to let such updates go out to stable. It is also not acceptable to say "I don't have the time to request a buildroot override". This kind of things MUST be done using buildroot overrides, when the update goes stable, it's too late, the push MUST happen as a group.

Comment 7 Kevin Kofler 2010-11-09 16:14:10 UTC
(BTW, it takes at most 1 or 2 minutes to request a buildroot override.)

That is if you are in front of a computer and not stuck somewhere between two flights...

Builds are going, I hope to have network to create the update a bit later.
