[opensuse-kde] Fwd: Upcoming release RKWard 0.7.0 - Call for testing
Shorty, KF5/Qt5 RKWard is finally almost out. It will work only with upcoming R 3.5 (not with R 3.4 and older) and R 3.5 will likely not work with RKWard 0.6 (its extra patching would be required). Dear packages, could You, please, have look at it to avoid incompatibility of R and RKWard versions? -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/

That's wrong. It will still work with R 3.4 too. It just won't work with 3.4 if you *build* it with 3.5 and vice-versa, but that's nothing new really, it always required the same R version on runtime as it was built against. Yes, the current rkward version we have in openSUSE does not support 3.5.0. That has only been added recently, after I updated the package to a KF5/Qt5 git snapshot. But R 3.5.0 is not released yet. AFAIK it's planned for the end of April. I plan to add the necessary patch or update the rkward package in the next weeks. (rkward 0.6.5 is irrelevant here as we don't have that in openSUSE anymore) Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry for confusion. Quoting from the forwarded mail: "...RKWard 0.6.5 will not work with R 3.5.0 at all...". I read it as there is some change in R, so that just recompilation wouldn't be enough. If not, good. :-)

Exactly.

Thank You!

Isn't 0.6.5 still available in OSS for 42.3? I see it at https://software.opensuse.org/package/rkward
Kind Regards, Wolfgang

Right. But you wrote that rkward 0.7.0 won't work with R 3.4, and that's wrong. ;-)

Sure, there are changes in R 3.5, otherwise it wouldn't get a new version number... ;-) That rkward 0.6.5 won't work with the upcoming R 3.5 even if recompiled is nothing new either though. rkward 0.6.3 even failed to build with R 3.3.x, so had to be updated to 0.6.5 back then or it would have had to be dropped from the distribution and wouldn't have been included in Leap 42.2. (I updated the rkward package back then, even though I'm not a maintainer) In this particular case, it seems that rkward would crash with R 3.5. That's been fixed 2 weeks ago: https://cgit.kde.org/rkward.git/commit/?id=eb252517d4b80075683f4cba4246c7a17... At least that's the only relevant change since the openSUSE package has been switched to the Qt5/KF5 based git snapshot in December.
But R 3.5.0 is not released yet. AFAIK it's planned for the end of April.
Exactly.
On the 23rd to be exact. And rkward 0.7.0 is scheduled for April 16th now (as written in the mail you forwarded), so everything should be fine. If rkward's release should be delayed for some reason, I will take appropriate actions though of course, either add the necessary patch or update to latest git master. We'll see in a week...

0.6.5 is included in standard 42.3, yes. But that comes with R 3.3.1 anyway. Updating R to 3.5.0 in Leap 42.3 would rather be against openSUSE's update policies, but even if that would happen for some reason it would require an rkward update anyway so we can just as well add the patch or update it to 0.7.0 at the same time. No point in worrying about that though IMHO. devel:languages:R.released (which will of course get the latest R version eventually, as it is the devel project for R in Factory) only contains *one* rkward version/package (built for several distributions including 42.3), and that will be updated anyway (also rkward is maintained in that repo, i.e. it's also the devel project for rkward in Factory).
