[ESS] RE: [R] Ess packages for Suse-9.2 available ?

[Paul Johnson]

Yes, I still have been making RPMS and I post them in 
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software.

The one I'm using in Fedora Core 3 seems completely fine:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/favoriteEmacsFiles/emacs-ess-5.2.3-4.PJ.noarch.rpm

I do not know if they are directly installable in SUSE because SUSE 
changes directory locations in some programs. But it should be very easy 
for a SUSE user who knows how to build RPMS to take my SRPM file, fiddle 
the SPEC to make the directories correct, and then rebuild.

I am committed to keep providing these rpms because I've prevailed on 
several students to learn to use Linux and Emacs and R, and can't 
abandon them. Yet.
