See below for upcoming R 3.4.2 "pre-release" change. I still consider this to be techically inferior and conceptually wrong and inadequate, but there is little else than I can do about it.
May I assume that some of you who sp tiredlessly argued for it will now liase with the release team to get 500+ forcefully rebuilt? Dirk r-base (3.4.1.20170921-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Initial rc build (r73337) of R 3.4.2 expected for Sep 28 * debian/control: Package r-base-core now 'Provides: r-api-3.4' per the Debian Release team. I still consider this to be wrong (as there was no API change) but my hands are tied here. * debian/compat: Increased to 9 -- Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> Sat, 23 Sep 2017 11:49:56 -0500 -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
