Hello,
we discussed with Thomas Friedrichsmeier problems with packaging (Thank You!), 
it's already fixed and RPM as downloadable from my openSUSE repository:
<https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:vojtaeus/rkward>

So far it works well, except when I tried to load Geneland package:

> library(Geneland)
Loading required package: tcltk
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tcltk’:
 .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
  call: NULL
  error: C stack usage  75062585772 is too close to the limit
Error: package ‘tcltk’ could not be loaded
Error: package ‘tcltk’ could not be loaded

And in dialog window I see:

Connection closed unexpectedly. Last error was.
The R kernel will be stopped immediately This means that you can no longer use 
any kernel-dependent functions to R. Also, in other words, you can't do 
anything at all, not even save your workspace If you're lucky, R has already 
done it. However, what you can do is save open command files, output, or data 
from an open data editor. Then exit RKWard. Sorry.

Similar error I get when I run phangorn::consensusNet - it should make 3D 
rotating network with GL.

Last minor issue I found is related package management dialog window from 
Settings menu. It seems that pane with packages has fixed height as when I 
maximize it, in lower part I see just gray empty space. Also, when I install 
some packages, the scroll bat keeps stick to the top, so I don't see progress.

Otherwise I like it a lot, especially enhanced syntax highlight in console.
Yours,
V.
