It's this same reason that running anything that depends on R in production is a PITA.

It's this same reason that running anything that depends on R in production is a PITA.
- FranzFerdiNaN 7y agoI run R in production and its absolutely fine and wasnt harder than pretty much any other thing in software development.
- halbritt 7y agoI didn't suggest it was hard. I found CRAN repos to be insecure and unreliable.
- kwertzzz 7y agoI am not a R user (using primarily julia and python), but can you expand on the insecure aspect of CRAN. Do you refer to (potentially) missing package signing (similar to [1])? I am not aware that python or julia support this either. Or is the software download over ftp/http instead of https? [1] https://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt https://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt
