I agree. And we patched the symbol issues in v3.6.3 in F31 (please,
don't forget to trigger a build and an update) thanks to Paul Murrell,
so we're fine on that front.

I'll have to rebuild 15k packages on the CRAN Copr repo. That's gonna
be huuuge. :) I'll try to do that while the update is sitting in
updates-testing and before it's pushed to stable.

Hi, José, the Copr repo is working great! I wrote a brief note about
it [1], and the README contains further details [2]. I use it in all
my machines and the servers I maintain, and I'm very happy with it.
Every day, a GitHub action checks which packages where
updated/added/archived on CRAN and triggers the corresponding builds.

Hi Iñaki,

I don't want to presume to speak for Martyn, but do know from R Foundation 
interactions, that between his move back to the UK and other things, he has 
been very busy.

I am copying him here, and hopefully as his schedule permits, he can respond.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz

[R-sig-Fedora] R 4.0.0

2020-05-04 Thread Tom Callaway
Hi folks,

As expected of a new major release of R, there is a break in compatibility
for R packages. From the NEWS entry for 4.0.0:

   Packages need to be (re-)installed under this version (4.0.0) of R.

This has two impacts on Fedora/EPEL.

1. Users who update to 4.0.0 will need to rebuild any/all packages
installed from CRAN.
2. Fedora/EPEL R packages will need to be rebuilt for 4.0.0.

For EPEL, #2 is less impactful (there are not that many R packages in EPEL)
but for Fedora, this is a pretty big lift.

I'm thinking that we'll only push this update to EPEL-8, F32, and rawhide,
but please, if you have input here, chime in.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi I�aki,
  just tangentially related to this subject, what is the status of the copr 
that you have 
related with automatic build of R packages?

I imagined he was very busy, but didn't know he was moving. Thanks!

I obviously meant **rather outdated**.

[R-sig-Fedora] R package RPMs for Fedora

Hi all,

Three months ago, I wrote to Martyn Plummer (to his Warwick email) and
offered my help to maintain and modernize this [1] rather updated
README, but received no response. Does anyone know how to reach him,
or maybe I should contact CRAN directly?
