Greetings and Salutations All,
First off, I want to say I really appreciate all the work that goes into making
R available on macOS. I realize that this is a time intensive process. However,
this is now the second consecutive time the macOS binary release has lagged
behind other platforms. As a result, would it be possible to add another
maintainer? Even more so, could we please update the macOS section of CRAN to
reflect the present status of the build? Some information is severely outdated.
In particular, on the tools page, there still is a link to gfortran-4.2.3 –
which hasn’t been used since R 3.0.0 (?) -- and an installer for the custom
compiler clang4 toolchain has yet to appear. If there is a public repository or
a means to submit a patch to address these issues I would be more than happy to
help since the current setup greatly impacts being able to introduce students
to HPC and interfacing with external libraries.
Sincerely,
JJB

binaries on CRAN. The Windows installer has been up a few days already. Is
there anything I am missing concerning this delay?
