I needed to rebuild r-base to have it use openjdk8 rather openjdk7, but I am stumped at a font / permission / latexing issue. I have built this package hundreds of times, and the last time about three weeks ago for r-base_3.2.3-5.
But now it fails at make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/r-base-3.2.3/tests' you should 'make docs' now ... make[2]: Entering directory '/build/r-base-3.2.3/doc' creating NEWS creating NEWS.pdf Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet, : Running 'texi2dvi' on 'NEWS.tex' failed.
