Hi Dirk, this is very neat to pinpoint which package needs to be rebuilt. Related to this I had one more reminder from a member of the Release team that r-base should not be co-installable with the packages that it breaks. This is related to the support of partial upgrades that I was mentioning earlier. At this point I see 3 options: - For each rebuild, insert a "Breaks" relationship in r-base's control file; - Increment r-api-3 to r-api-4 (or r-api-3.4, etc.) in order to not have to maintain a long list of "Breaks" declarations. In that case, we have to rebuild everything. - Just rebuild what has to be rebuilt, and do not support partial upgrades, which is what has been done until now. Not supporting partial upgrades puts the maintainers of the r-cran and r-bioc packages between the hammer and the anvil. This said, I think that we have made constant progresses over the years, so I do not feel shy saying "not yet" to the Release team again if needed.
