-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2016-6fc2c863b0 2016-06-01 16:24:35.908386 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : R Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 3.3.0 Release : 3.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:

Update R to 3.3.0. If you are using R on EL5 or EL6, please note that with R 3.3.0, it has dependencies on much newer versions of zlib, bzip2, lzma, pcre, and curl than are found in those OS releases. I've bundled in newer copies of these components and statically linked R against them. This means that if something breaks on R on EL5 or EL6, you will be likely told to try it on EL7. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
