@Helios07 I just updated #5360 last night to R 3.4.3 as well.

Do you mind syncing up your easyconfig with that one, in terms of dependencies & (more importantly) extensions?

[Helios07]

I tried to synchronize the dependencies as far as possible and added checksums to the extensions. I did not compare them one by one, but the versions should be up to date.

Please use the new exts_default_options construct added in easybuilders/easybuild-framework#2345, see also easyconfig for R 3.4.3 that just got merged.

The easiest way to tackle this is probably to copy the contents from https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/develop/easybuild/easyconfigs/r/R/R-3.4.3-intel-2017b-X11-20171023.eb, and change the toolchain to foss. By preference, use the same dependency versions (it sort of useful to keep easyconfigs consistent between the foss and intel common toolchains).

[Helios07]

I tried to copy your easyconfig file for intel2017b, but this is not building because it tries do download the extensions from http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/ instead of http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/. I have no idea, why.

[boegel]

@Helios07 If you're not using current develop of EasyBuild (which will become v3.5.0 very soon), exts_default_options will be ignored because it's not a known easyconfig parameter yet in EasyBuild v3.4.1 & earlier, and so extensions will be downloaded via the 'parent' source_urls.

[Helios07]

Installing the development version did not work in time. I will close this PR and try again after 3.5.0 is released.
