Hi Jeff, > it is more likely that you will need to take on scratching that new itch.
thanks. Should I subscribe to the developer list and ask there? I had a deep look into the Manual "R Installation and Administration", but I fear that this is too much unknown terrain for me. Let me recall the apparent advantages of flatpak: It is a distribution independent package format, where the applications run in a kind of sandbox. Flatpak is supported by RedHat/Fedora/CentOS/Scientific Linux as well as Debian/Ubuntu, and Arch. So it might be worth a deeper look.
