Prefix.dev - the Pixi company @prefix.dev · Mar 23 Pixi can now natively build R packages - for your own packages or thirdparty packages from CRAN or Github. The new `pixi-build-r` build backend makes it possible. pixi-build-r will install compilers, system-level dependencies and R / r-packages from @condaforge.

This is very powerful for the R ecosystem as often, system level dependencies are underspecified. CRAN packages generally need to be built from source. pixi-build-r makes that super smooth - you don't even have to release to CRAN! You can just depend on another project from git.
