Control: severity -1 serious Do we know if this issue may also mean that any packages built with this new version are incompatible with older R versions? [I'm thinking so, but my ABI-fu is not super strong.]
If so, we'll need to make sure that they depend on at least this R version. We also may need to populate a breaks with all of those packages which have the older version. As a side note, it's really important not to start transitions like this when we're in a freeze; this upload of R 3.4 should have been made to experimental, not unstable. [Not that I can really point too many fingers; I accidentally uploaded a new release of scowl to unstable which I meant to target at experimental the other day...] -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com a friend will help you move a best friend will help you move bodies but if you have to move your best friend's body you're on your own -- a softer world #242 http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=242
