Fedora 43 workaround

Open VLucet opened this issue 2 weeks ago • 0 comments

Is there a workaround to make rig work on Fedora 43 at the moment?

Detected platform:
Architecture: x86_64
OS:           linux
Distribution: fedora
Version:      43
PPM support:  false

It seems there is no release in the ppm yet:

# sudo rig install release
[ERROR] Failed to resolve R version: Cannot download JSON: HTTP status client error (404 Not Found) for url (https://api.r-hub.io/rversions/resolve/release/linux-fedora-43/x86_64)

I can't change RIG_PLATFORM for some reason:

val@fedora:~$ export RIG_PLATFORM="fedora-42"
val@fedora:~$ sudo rig install release
[ERROR] Failed to resolve R version: Cannot download JSON: HTTP status client error (404 Not Found) for url (https://api.r-hub.io/rversions/resolve/release/linux-fedora-43/x86_64)

But the package seems to exist for 42 https://api.r-hub.io/rversions/resolve/release/linux-fedora-42/x86_64

{"ppm-binaries":false,"ppm-binary-url":null,"version":"4.5.2","nickname":"[Not] Part in a Rumble","type":"release","url":"https://cdn.posit.co/r/fedora-42/pkgs/R-4.5.2-1-1.x86_64.rpm","date":"2025-10-31T08:13:34.137531Z"}
