Porting R channel to conda-forge

This issue will track the effort to port the R channel into conda-forge. Please feel free to join if you like.

How to contribute

We can now start migrating R packages from conda/conda-recipes.

• The recipes below are sorted topologically, into levels.
• Each level has to be completed before we can do the next, because the next level will depend on recipes from the previous.
• Go to the currently tackled level, choose a subset of the recipes, and create a pull request with them. * Please mention the PR in this issue and tick the checkbox once the PR has been merged.
• When creating recipes, please use conda-build >=2.1.9 for an up to date skeleton.
• Add skip: true # [win32].
• Remove irrelevant comments.
• Add yourself, johanneskoester and bgruening as a maintainer.
• See my cleanup script below.

Cleanup script:

In order to clean up recipes created with conda skeleton cran, I apply the following script:

#!/bin/sh

RECIPE=$1/meta.yaml
BUILDSH=$1/build.sh
BUILDBAT=$1/bld.bat

sed -i -e '/^ *#.*$/d' $RECIPE
sed -i -e '/^$/N;/^\n$/D' $RECIPE

echo extra: >> $RECIPE
echo "  recipe-maintainers:" >> $RECIPE
echo "    - johanneskoester" >> $RECIPE
echo "    - bgruening" >> $RECIPE

echo '"%R%" CMD INSTALL --build .' > $BUILDBAT
echo 'if errorlevel 1 exit 1' >> $BUILDBAT

echo '#!/bin/bash' > $BUILDSH
echo '' >> $BUILDSH
echo '$R CMD INSTALL --build .' >> $BUILDSH

[johanneskoester]

We are done! Thanks to everybody who helped!
