This release has not yet made it to EPEL 7 stable. Is there any ETA on that? It fixes a bug we have with installing R packages on BeeGFS. Thanks.
The challenge is this: R 3.6.1 cannot build with the stock EL-7 toolchain, due to the C++ support level required. In order to build it, we need to use devtoolset-8-toolchain. When R 3.6.1 is built, it assumes that same level of C++ support is available, and any EL-7 setups using it which do not have devtoolset-8-toolchain will not successfully build modules from CRAN which depend on that C++ support (which is not a small number these days). Thus, I made the R-3.6.1 build for EL-7 depend on devtoolset-8-toolchain, but this is not acceptable (apparently). So, I'm caught between either: 1. Dropping the dependency on devtoolset-8-toolchain and having bugs flow in which I'm forced to close as CANTFIX or 2. Leaving R in EL-7 at the last release which did not depend on devtoolset-8-toolchain I'm really unwilling to do #1.
Thanks very much for the explanation, which makes perfect sense. I'm fine with the dependency, so I'll pull the packages from testing for our site.
