Hm. Are you saying I never did? That ... would be possible. Maybe I just
assumed it would flow automatically.

I may well have read the Debian wiki page wrong. But no mas, it was a good
experience to set up an account at minipower / unicamp and I am working on a
8-core box. First use of OpenStack too. It's nice.

Can do, but we are also held back by the ppc64el issue. Though we identified
it now -- and Charles was partially right about the long double issue
there. While _previous_ patch to header affected (as in: "reenabled")
compilation, we are now seeing this infinite loop on something the byte
compiler does for calibration / machine architecture. Clearly a powerpc
issue. Clearly upstream too.

I think BioConductor 3.11 (for R 4.0.0) got released upstream yesterday. I
would not know about r-bioc-* transition though.
