Motivation for this change

Updates R from 3.2.4 to 3.3.2

Unfortunately it seems as though the tests are broken upstream; I can't seem to get them to pass outside of the Nix store either. The failure seems to be related to dependency on the "MASS" package, which isn't available in the build environment (and the tests don't seem to attempt to install it). R-3.3.1 from the Gentoo ebuild fails in the same way.

Despite this the resulting interpreter seems to work, and reverse dependencies build and pass their tests.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing
    (nix.useSandbox on NixOS,
    or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf
    on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • Linux
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Have you reported those test failures upstream?

I wasn't able to find a relevant bug upstream, and I'd like to build some additional insight as to exactly why these simple-seeming tests fail before reporting. That said, perhaps that's better left to the upstream maintainers.

Unfortunately I've been rather busy this past week. I should be able to provide a more comprehensive report to upstream in the next few days.

If I had to guess, I'd speculate that the tests are failing because we compile with --without-recommended-packages.
