@bzz Here's where we are:
* I believe all the licensing, rat, and rebasing to-do's are resolved.
* On CI, trying to follow your proposal, if we turn-off sudo in CI, then
the pyspark tests pass.
- **BUT** To test the R interpreter, we need to be able to install the R
dependencies.
- The base installation directory for R libraries is owned by root and not
writable, so we need sudo to change permissions.
- The method used in 702 is to use a user-specific R preference file to
store R packages in a non-standard location. We can't use that here, because
the R interpreter ignores user-specific preferences and directories --- this is
an intentional design decision.
I am experimenting with a few options -- do you have suggestions?
