Hi Dirk,
I had a look and found that the two build failures of 3.6.1 and 3.6.2
were addressed in https://bugs.debian.org/946836. This is good news
because the bug log shows recent interest on all sides to solve build
issues on PowerPC.
The transition can not complete until either R 4.0.0 builds on PowerPC
or all the r-* packages are removed from Testing by the Release team. I
think it would be useful if somebody (you ?) would check with the R
developers if the build failures looks like easy to resolve. This is
something that I expect the Release team would want to know anyway.
Cheers,
Charles
