Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2009-3131
2009-03-30 16:51:25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : R
Product : Fedora 10
Version : 2.8.1
Release : 8.fc10
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:
Fix error in new R.sh and R.csh profile scripts where R could throw an error to
stdout if R_HOME was already defined. On tcsh, this could prevent a user from
being able to login.
