With the 19.3.0 release, GraalVM supports two Java versions: Java 8 and Java 11. This also affects all sibling packages, including FastR, so the former fastr-bin package is split in two: fastr-jdk8-bin and fastr-jdk11-bin (this package). We use this opportunity to make several other adjustments as well. We no longer provide a version of the package name without the “-bin” suffix. It doesn’t seem likely that a built-from-source version will be added to the AUR soon, and other packages like jdk8-openj9-bin or jdk8-j9-bin don’t provide non-bin versions either. Since this release no longer includes the GCC libraries required by FastR, we have to depend on gcc-libs and also gcc6-libs (FastR requires an older version of libgfortran.so than the one provided by gcc-libs). gcc6-libs doesn’t install its libs into /usr/lib, so we symlink its libgfortran.so.3 into FastR’s lib folder; this works for R, but not for Rscript, so for now the Rscript launcher is slightly tweaked to update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This may change in the future, depending on feedback from the FastR developers. And finally, a .gitignore file never hurts.
