Yes I am here :) I spotted the breakage caused by R 3.4.0 when seeing regression tests failing on ci.debian.net. But I did not report them yet as I am still busy with the breakage caused by R 3.3.3 (mostly on Bioconductor packages). In the case of R 3.3.3 it was a bit tedious to identify which packages were to rebuild because some test failures were only indirect consequences, and a pacakge responsible for the failures had its own tests passing because their coverage was shallow... Hence for 3.4.0 I would say that in doubt, let's rebuild everything. If r-base starts to provide r-api-4 instead of r-api-3 then it will not be co-installable with the r-cran/bioc/other-* packages until they have been rebuilt. - The benefit is that it will prevent people doing partial upgrades from Stable, that would break their packages. - The drawback is the extra work of rebuilding the packages that do not use .C and .Fortran. Within the Debian infrastructure, the architecture-dependant packages can be easily rebuilt by binNMUs. The architecture-independant packages are easier to rebuild than before, because it is now possible to do source-only uploads. Also, it may be worth asking on debian-devel if binNMUs of arch-independant packages will become possible (since we now have autobuilders that can handle them). For the Debian packages provided on CRAN, I am not familiar on build is trigger, so I can not comment on the ease of rebuilding.
