Package: r-base-core
Version: 2.7.1-1
Local R customizations by the sysadmin to the R startup are supposed to
be done in the Rprofile.site file. However, R currently looks for that
file under /usr (more precisely: /usr/lib/R/etc/Rprofile.site). It'd be
nice to have the same setup as for other config files that R expects in
/usr/lib/R/etc: a symlink to a corresponding file under /etc/R, together
maybe with a small stock file as /etc/R/Rprofile.site containing only a
comment explaining that this is the place to do local customizations to
the R startup by the sysadmin using R code, making the file easier to
find. (The location and name of the file for local R customization is
not documented in the R manpage. I had to run strace on a R process to
find it.)
Thanks,
Christian
