Chris Hodapp 7638578342 RStudio: Optionally allow packages from custom R environment 
https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#r-packages contains a method for
setting up an R environment with a specific set of libraries, and it
creates an R wrapper which points R to those libraries.

The package RStudio relies on the standard R package, which then
cannot access any of the libraries specified in a custom R
environment.  While one may easily use pkgs.rstudio.override to change
rstudio's R dependency to the custom R environment, this accomplishes
nothing because while RStudio runs the correct R wrapper it clears out
the environment variable R_LIBS_SITE - and so it is still unable to
use any of those packages.

In order to work around this problem, these changes allow the user to
optionally modify rstudio's wrapper to set environment variable
R_PROFILE_USER to an R script which sets R's .libPaths(..) to point to
the same libraries; that script is generated from R_LIBS_SITE in the R
wrapper.

By default, this change has no effect.  If R is overridden to
something else, and if useRPackages is changed from its default of
false, then the change described above is made; for instance:

{
  packageOverrides = pkgs: let self = pkgs.pkgs; in
  rec {
    rEnv = pkgs.rWrapper.override {
      packages = with self.rPackages; [
        dplyr ggplot2 e1071 rpart reshape
      ];
    };
    rstudioEnv = pkgs.rstudio.override { R = rEnv; useRPackages = true; };
  };
}

Build Status Code Triagers Badge

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
