Hi,
in Fedora Extras we build R packages to a temporary directory. The
relevant section in
the spec file is this:
%build
cd ..; R CMD INSTALL %{packname} -l %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/R/library
It works. :-)
We noticed one problem though (I will assume working on ix86 here) the
temporary build path is saved in
/usr/lib/R/library/*/Meta/hsearch.rds, i.e. for each package.
To see this is enough to run strings over these file.
Is this a security concern? Does R uses this path in any way?
In case the answer is yes, it is safe to run sed over this file and do
a textual replacement?
Thanks and best regards,
