[R-sig-Fedora] RStudio package maintenance moved to Copr

[Iñaki Ucar]

Dear all,

With the latest release of RStudio last week (v2024.09.0+375), support for
Qt builds has been removed. This means that we can no longer maintain
RStudio packages in the official Fedora repositories, because the necessary
Electron component is missing. RStudio is supported in the official
repositories up to v2024.04.2+764 and F40, and has been retired from newer
branches.

Consequently, I moved maintenance to Fedora Copr, where I have more
flexibility. You can find an up-to-date Electron build in the iucar/rstudio
Copr repository [1], available for F39 and later, for x86_64 and aarch64.
Installation instructions are provided there. Upgrading from the official
repos to this new one should work without issue.
