How bad is the (now removed) r.rb cask? Does it need a full rewrite or is it relatively correct?

[reitermarkus]

According to https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/pull/23584 I think simply restoring the removed r and renaming it to r-gui is fine.

[strubleca]

That's not my understanding of the discussion in #23584 . The removed r cask contains the entire R distribution. It was removed to avoid duplication with the r homebrew formula. My understanding of the decision was to reinstate only the R.app GUI component as a cask.

[adidalal]

We're adding in the cask back - the pkg contains everything, plus the gui. We're keeping it as its vendor supplied, and fully supported upstream

[strubleca]

Ah, great! There was nothing wrong with the old cask, so renaming it to r-gui should be fine.

btw the link is (tar.gz) sources for gui, other package contains full application and other stuff (as stated) so maybe decompressing pkg and moving app out solves it (without conflict)?
