<div dir="ltr">My wish list for new packages is pretty short: RStudio (desktop and server), the CRAN 'Spatial' task view and all the Ubuntu dependencies the task view needs. I have a set of scripts that will layer this onto OSGeo Live 7.9 at <a href="https://gitlab.com/znmeb/osgeo-live-addons">https://gitlab.com/znmeb/osgeo-live-addons</a>. License is AGPL-3. I'd certainly be willing to merge these into your build process or do a fork-pull request from a Git repo (assuming you use Git, of course). <br>
