It=E2=80=99s on my list to eventually package a more recent version of Rstu=
dio.
I=E2=80=99ve been using the older version for quite some time at the instit=
ute,
but it=E2=80=99s possible that with recent upgrades to Guix the package no
longer builds.

One obstacle to adding RStudio to Guix is that Java to JavaScript
compiler that hasn=E2=80=99t been packaged yet.  In my package definition w=
e=E2=80=99re
using the prebuilt Jar as a blob.

I won=E2=80=99t be able to work on this soon (probably not before March), b=
ut I
can lend a hand to whoever would like to package RStudio now.
