Description
Related to REditorSupport/vscode-R#718
Source installation of languageserver on Linux takes a long time to install stringi.
Currently, work is underway to remove the stringi dependency from knitr (yihui/knitr#1549), which is a dependency of languageserver, and once this is completed, if stringi is removed from languageserver as well, the installation of stringi will no longer be necessary, which should improve the installation speed.
