Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2016-367d157bc6
2016-07-06 03:36:59.522381
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : R
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 3.3.0
Release : 10.el5
URL :
http://www.r-project.org
Summary : A language for data analysis and graphics
Description :
This is a metapackage that provides both core R userspace and
all R development components.
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was developed at
Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide
variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and
nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis,
classification, clustering, ...).
R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow
constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to
add additional functionality by defining new functions. For
computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked
and called at run time.

Update Information:
Fix up the last few files where the zlibhack left noise. ---- Finally remove
the last bits of the static library linking flags from the places that are
inherited into CRAN. ---- Really really really fix the el5 build to not have
random and incorrect linkflags that prevent CPAN modules from building. ----
Actually fix CRAN builds by removing invalid linkflags. ---- Fixup libR.pc to
not point to a ton of unnecessary sharedlibs.
