For _now_, I am thinking of filing a release critical bug, to kick this one out of testing. That could help migration move forward.

I'm tempted to disable that one and upload. Any other ideas welcome. That said, I took a look at the rest of the list, very helpful, and thanks! However, those packages updates couple with reverse-dependencies is a too much for me to manage alone. It'd be awesome if you could help. Also, @Andreas, @Dylan, @Steffen, can you take care of some of them? > (and R Core decided not to call for a formal ABI breakage which I concur with on > balance but we _could_ of course gone all in here requiring everything to be > rebuilt; I too think that would have been overkill) Agreed. > For tikzDevice we know R 4.0.0 imposed a rebuild for graphics devices so a simple rebuild may do. The CI logs are pretty much suggestive of that as well: "Error: Graphics API version mismatch" I just uploaded a new revision let's see if this solves the problem. > PS FYI A month ago, I actually received an email from an R Core member and > CRAN co-founder who was wondering why the new r-base migrate would not > migrate. I can only say that the matter is not under my control. Hopefully, we are not too far from migrations.
