roaster

Introduction

This project is an attempt to design an easy tool to support R, helps its users (statisticians and data scientists) and technicians (sysadmins and devops). It's an independent project, unlinked to the R Foundation.

Most common use-cases:

• get the source code for a stable/unstable R release;
• install all the needed tools and libraries needed for the build;
• build the source code three with different options;
• update and deploy the R environment.

Everything rely upon the Bash shell and could run on almost all modern GNU/Linux distributions. It's the main focus. By the way, there're open tickets to support Windows, MacOs and other Unix-like Oses.
