Shivaram Venkataraman commented on SPARK-14074:
-----------------------------------------------

I think the last CRAN release when we first started using lint-r was very old. Right now it looks like 0.3.3 is the latest release on lint-r -- thats going to be missing some of the latest commits from https://github.com/jimhester/lintr/commits/master and we'll need to see if we are using any of it.

Another approach which might be better than the current `install_github`is to use `install_github` with a specific tag. That way we don't need to rely on the package being updated in CRAN but can use the latest github tag.

> In dev/lint-r.R, `install_github` makes our builds depend on a unstable source. We should use official releases on CRAN instead even the released version has less feature.
