RPM Packages Providing R for OpenSUSE

1 RPMs providing R for OpenSUSE
The preferred method to install R on OpenSUSE Linux is using the 1-click install facility the OpenSUSE Build Service (OBS) provides in their search interface. Nevertheless some seemed to have trouble using that interface, what inspired creating a page collecting direct links to the packages installation sources.
If there are no complaints, the package files for OpenSUSE will be removed from CRAN in a few weeks. This will reduce the load on R mirrors and installation for Suse users is much less error prone if using 1-click installation. For the moment all files up to version R-2.9.0 can be found in their traditional places.
Any feedback highly appreciated!
1.1 Directly installing R from this page (preferred)
The links in the table below invoke yast2 directly to provide access to OpenSUSE's 1-click-install. Architecture and dependencies are handled automatically. You must be root to do this, resp. you will be asked to give the superuser password during installation.
The devel package is needed, if you want to install add-on packages. You'll probably need to install a compiler, too. Some packages will need additional dependencies. See install instructions for the package, if installation fails.
| OpenSuSE | R-base-2.10.0 | R-base-devel-2.10.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Version | 1-click-install | 1-click-install |
| 10.1 | Install | Install |
| 10.2 | Install | Install |
| 10.3 | Install | Install |
| SLE 10 | Install | Install |
| 11.0 | Install | Install |
| 11.1 | Install | Install |
| 11.2 | Install | Install |
| SLE 11 | Install | Install |
| Factory | Install | Install |
The version provided at the moment is R-2.10.0 It includes the recommended packages and uses R's internal blas library.
1.2 Download for later installation
If for whatever reason you prefer downloading and manual installation of R, you find the src.rpms in the noarch subdirectory matching your OpenSuSE version in my OBS directory.
You may grab a copy of a source rpm there, too. If you need it, a copy of the most recent spec file is available for download.
