R.NET vs R.NET.Community in NuGet

Question

Can anyone tell me the difference between R.NET and R.NET.Community in the NuGET package manager? They both reference http://rdotnet.codeplex.com/ as their Project URL.

The old project page says:

R.NET is now distributed via R.NET.Community on NuGet

does this mean that the R.NET package is obsolete and should not be installed?

I'm working on a project that has both R.NET 1.5.5 and R.NET.Community 1.6.5 installed. Is it safe to remove R.NET and everything should still work?

Answer 1

You are correct - R.NET was replaced by R.NET.Community:

Note that you must uninstall packages dependencies or R.NET 1.5.5 or earlier, if pre-existing. R.NET 1.5.13 uses a different package identifier: R.NET.Community

It's also worth noting that, at the time of writing, R.NET development seems to have stalled, with the last commit being in August 2015. The issue/bug list however is growing.
