Hi -
It was recently announced that MRAN, the Microsoft R Application Network that hosts time machine/snapshots of R’s main package host CRAN (Comprehensive R Archive Network) will be shutdown.
I believe that MRAN is a part of the procedure for getting R packages into nixpkgs via generate-r-packages.R
. Will there need to be a re-implementation of the procedure for building R packages for nixpkgs?
Disclaimer - I am newer to the NixOS world and may be misunderstanding the procedure how exactly R packages end up in nixpkgs, but am willing to attempt to help in any capacity as I can (if there is a need).
