There are several advantages to these metapackages:
1. Users who want an R install that comes with the Fedora OpenJDK
preconfigured can yum install R-java.
2. Developers who want an R development environment that has the Fedora
OpenJDK preconfigured can yum install R-java-devel.
3. It does not change the default behavior of the R-core, R-devel (and
R) packages.
4. Any addon R modules that require java to be present and configured
can now use BuildRequires: R-java-devel and be built for Fedora in koji.
If you have any questions about this change, please feel free to ask! :)
While we are at this, could we add something in /etc/profile.d/ to set
R_HOME to /usr/lib{64}/R ?
I can also include it in R-rJava to make user's life easier :)
Thanks,
