On the other hand, instead of simply the one letter =E2=80=9Cr=E2=80=9D, we= could rename it =E2=80=9Cr-environment=E2=80=9D. Because the package currently named = =E2=80=9Cr=E2=80=9D is the interpreter named =E2=80=9Cr-minimal=E2=80=9D plus extra packages, constitu= ting the basic bricks of the =E2=80=9CR environment=E2=80=9D [1]. 1: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (define-public r (package (inherit r-minimal) (name "r") (source #f) (build-system trivial-build-system) (arguments '(#:builder (begin (mkdir %output) #t))) (propagated-inputs `(("r-minimal" ,r-minimal) ("r-boot" ,r-boot) ("r-class" ,r-class) ("r-cluster" ,r-cluster) ("r-codetools" ,r-codetools) ("r-foreign" ,r-foreign) ("r-kernsmooth" ,r-kernsmooth) ("r-lattice" ,r-lattice) ("r-mass" ,r-mass) ("r-matrix" ,r-matrix) ("r-mgcv" ,r-mgcv) ("r-nlme" ,r-nlme) ("r-nnet" ,r-nnet) ("r-rpart" ,r-rpart) ("r-spatial" ,r-spatial) ("r-survival" ,r-survival))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I also support the proposal. My point is: I am not even sure that =E2=80= =9Cr=E2=80=9D should be whitelisted. Cheers, simon
