<p dir="auto">On hold for now, because executing binaries outside the sandbox fails due to problems with the paths they see: <a href="https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html</a> (e.g. gcc would be at /var/run/host/usr/bin, and can be started, but will fail as soon as it looks for any other files in /usr; same for R).</p>
<p dir="auto">Plan to work around this:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Create a chroot-wrapper to start external R. The chroot dir (inside /app, I guess) will have the standard paths mapped in.</li>
<li>Start system-installed R inside that chroot.</li>
<li>Whenever passing paths between frontend and backend, make sure to map them as appropriate (this is going to be quite a hassle, but is a long-term-plan anyway, in order to allow remote R backends, for instance).</li>
<li>R will no longer be bundled inside the flatpak, after this, but be an external dependency (if allowed)</li>
</ul>
