Having them managed by the distro’s packaging system has its advantages: I can check them with revdep or use custom settings at build time. However, I did not find a ready solution, so I wrote a tool myself, called cran2crux (for detailed info, check it’s page). The cran2crux script automatically generates CRUX port(s) for R modules available from CRAN. On my TODO list is making it work with Bioconductor, as well.

CRUX ports added to portdb
Posted: 2022-12-30 Filed under: misc | Tags: CRUX, portdb, ports, repo Leave a commentMy collection of CRUX ports has been just added to the portdb section at CRUX’s web-site, as ppetrov. I also maintain Xfce 4.12 for CRUX 3.7, but decided that it will not be of much interest, so it’s not there. Anyway, both repos are available at GitHub.
