Common knowledge. I referenced it half-a-dozen times in the damned thread about the binNMUs. The ALTREP branch for R was announced as coming earlier in the year, and is now in the r-devel master branch (ie R upstream). We will switch to r-api-4 then which will finally break the effing block posed upon by the release team in response to the 'R 3.4.0 has a change' bug report by Johannes. | (By the way, I apologise in advance that I am being crushed for time | currently and will not be able to help much). This will happen in April 2018. Hopefully you will have more spare cycles then. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
