Ideally, only for those depending on Matrix (>= 1.7-0), currently CoTiMA, FlexRL, gamm4, matrixCorr, organik, and their strong recursive reverse dependencies (29 more packages via gamm4). If the dependencies of the remaining packages are truly satisfied by Matrix < 1.7-0, installing them shouldn't pose a problem, as Matrix is likely to be pre-installed as a "Recommended" package. Even if it's not installed and the distribution source code is missing, it's still possible to download a matching version of Matrix from CRAN, e.g., from https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/4.0.0/Recommended/. Still, it's a reason to worry, because most developers don't test their packages with the minimal version of every dependency installed (some CRAN packages even have dependencies on minimal versions of R that don't exist!). There may be packages that effectively depend on a later version of Matrix and don't know it. -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
