R has the same issues as Perl and, I think TEX. There is a core system, respectively interpreters for a statistical and graphical language, for, well, Perl, and for a type-setting language. Then there are packages (in Perl and TEX) and libraries (in R) where most of the functionality of the system lives. For R, these libraries are written in a mixture of the R itself, C and bits of Fortran. It should be possible to do something similar to what Perl has for CPAN for R. Is this a good idea? It would add several hundred packages to portage, although perl has added 560+ as of today. Any comments?

Feel free to reopen w/ someone proof-of-concept "g-cpan like" implementation for R packages or whatever (or if you make ebuilds for individual packages, file separate bugs for them). Thanks. |
