Package RStudio / RStudio server
See original GitHub issueAnaconda has some heavily outdated versions in the R channel still, but I cannot find the recipe in AnacondaRecipes/aggregate.
The license would be compatible.
I’m guessing the topic has come up before (not least since solving integration between conda & R / RStudio is a recurring subject), so I wanted to open this issue mainly for getting some thoughts from @conda-forge/core on this.
If there are no strong objections, I’ll probably try my hand at a PR in the coming days.

You’re absolutely welcome to package RStudio in conda-forge so long as you adhere to the AGPL licensing. There are already a handful of teams that do this to produce an RStudio package compatible with their environment (e.g. there’s a FreeBSD port we don’t maintain but regularly builds RStudio for FreeBSD users).
We can’t offer formal support for this but would be happy to assist with issues you run into on a case by case basis. Presumably this will involve recompiling RStudio, so when you do this I’d recommend tweaking a few compile-time variables so that your RStudio build is distinguishable from our official binaries (in Help/About).
RStudio’s own build system is pretty much out in the open; with the exception of macOS all the builds happen in Docker containers that are part of the repo itself.
If Qt is a blocker you should be aware that we are hoping to break our Qt dependency in mid 2021, replacing it with Electron, which these days is the standard technology for making web apps into desktop apps (RStudio has always had this approach but predates the availability of Electron by quite a bit).
That’s totally fine (plus, I’m certainly supportive of such approaches) and I’m thankful for your initiative!
Regarding the technical part: https://github.com/AnacondaRecipes/aggregateR/tree/master/rstudio-feedstock/recipe would be the starting point you searched for (recipes from Anaconda for R packages are in the separate https://github.com/AnacondaRecipes/aggregateR repo).
