I am putting this here as it may be of general and not just my own
interest. I am currently running 4.3.1 on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS but am
hitting an issue that the magick package won't update because
libmagick++-dev won't update because, presumably, of two repositories in
my sources.list disagreeing about versions required. That's not so
urgent an issue for me that I wont just wait to see if it sorts itself
out. In my experience such collisions sometimes do.
However, it prompted me to some questions:
1) Is this telling me it's time I went to r2u which does seem a "very
good thing"? Any reason NOT to change?
2) I read https://eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/, not for the first time,
and it looks simple, even I should be able to do that. Any gotchas?
See #3:
3) but it says things I don't really understand about the R version:
"Current versions are based on R 4.3.0, and BioConductor release
3.17 packages are provided when required by CRAN packages. Binaries are
still R 4.2.* based (unless a forced rebuild was required) but the
containers provide R 4.3.0. We expect to switch to R 4.3.0-based builds
very soon."
3a) I don't understand why "binaries", presumably binary packages,
would be at a different release from ... what? What is not binary?
Pure R source packages?
3b) _IS_ it still at 4.3.0 as I'm at 3.4.1 and would be a bit
reluctant to go backwards down the release sequence?
TIA and enormous respect to Dirk for this and all the other work he does
for R,
Chris
