It could be interesting to learn from the fixes of these R packages, do you maybe have a list of the package names already which you could share? Packages should aim to be platform-independent.

Fully agree, generally we aim to be compatible with all CRAN tested systems. In particular for Mac I am quite new to the different combinations of R itself and packages being compiled, which compiler versions can be combined etc. > I believe mac-builder uses different > ones for 'release' and for 'development' but you write as if it uses > just one -- and I know that there have been changes since R 4.3.0 was > released. > Thanks, I will also test the 'development' toolchain and see what happens.
