Support for R and CRAN

atripp

I'm afraid not... seems this thread has been a little quiet.

We haven't had many enterprise customers or sales leads requesting it as a feature, and we didn't see a good way to market the feature. It seems very few people search for CRAN-related topics or wanting private repository

Best,
Alana

@atripp Maybe it's because resources such as https://packagemanager.rstudio.com/client/#/repos/2/packages exist then.. Or could it be that almost no one runs [R] in on-prem production? Difficult knowing exact reasons..

@entro_4370 we are definitely seeing "package" interest from "data science" teams inside of large organizations, but it seems they're more Python users instead of R users ‍️

Hi!
Status Quo here @atripp?
I'm working in a governmental authority where R is frequently used and we use ProGet for package repos. For us, a CRAN feed-type in ProGet would be VERY welcome. Currenlty we have no way to handle R-packages internally in a good way.
If R/CRAN support is still somewhere on your backlog we would be glad to help you guys with whatever we can =)

Hey @mrbill and all,

We've since had a handful of "mentions" for it on the presales side, but it was more like a "wishlist" than anything else. There's probably some opportunity however - so I'm leaning towards re-evaluating for v2023.

Big thing will be partners who can show us how to use R -- I added this to our internal list for the v2023 review :)

Cheers,

Alex

@apxltd Thanks for the update!

Ok we keep our fingers crossed that you can look into this during 2023.

Please let us know if we can be of any help!
