I've been learning R on both Fedora and Ubuntu.
I've noticed that Ubuntu has considerably greater support for R than Fedora (more R
deb packages than R rpm packages).
Is there a rationale for this?
I don't use R or Ubuntu. But I wonder if counting the number of packages is actually
reflective of the level of support. Is there a one-to-one correspondence between deb
and rpm packages and the distributions?
I count 140 rpm's (R-*) packages on Fedora. This excludes the devel packages. How
many more does Ubuntu have and what functionality do they provide that is missing
from Fedora?
With that info, I would think one could write a BZ against R requesting the missing
pieces. Probably would get a better, more definitive answer that way.
