A new major release R 3.0.0 will come out on Wednesday April 3rd, as

according the the release plan and announcements [1].
It contains major internal changes [2] and requires rebuilds of all R
packages.

As for unstable, we have an issue as essentially all
reverse-dependencies
that are R packages will need to be rebuilt [5]. On testing, I get
for
158 packages from `apt-cache rdepends r-base-core | grep -c r-cran-`.

and I am CCing everybody now to see if they could please rebuild the
packages
within a week or so. Come next weekend we'll review and switch to
direct
email pings.
Comments, suggestions, ... most welcome. Please CC me on replies as
I am no
longer subscribed to debian-devel.
Aside from the lack of pre-discussion, co-ordination etc., the last few
weeks of a freeze _really_ isn't the right time to be starting a large
(or indeed small) transition in unstable. We now have at least 87 (based
on this morning's britney run) packages which won't be able to receive
updates via unstable should they turn out to have lately discovered RC
bugs. If any of those packages are then involved in dependency chains,
the same could be true of packages outside of the R module packages.
Regards,
Adam
