it was updated again in April, 2020 but apparently it was not updated to reflect that finally RStudio 1.3.x arrived in May, 2020. BTW, Felipe Borges and colleagues based their work on what was provided by Alexander Wilms

Any news here?

Maybe it would be good to create a runtime providing R and package that separetly from RStudio. It might be interesting for e.g. Jamovi and Jasp too.

WIP submission

If the last post from Oct, 2021 is the solution, why doesn’t RStudio show up in flathub?

What went wrong?

it hasn’t been merged.

What should be done to get it merged?

Is anyone working on it?
