Hmmm, did you created a transition bug to coordinate with release team?
This would be pretty helpful to do a transition and could focus our
efforts.

Definitely not. We all want this. Regarding the packages that are
not up to date I left some notes about blocking reasons inside the
according changelogs. For instance the changelog of r-cran-processx[2]
says:
══ Failed ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
── 1. Failure (test-err.R:252:3): errors from subprocess ───────────────────────
`err` is not an S3 object
── 2. Failure (test-err.R:253:3): errors from subprocess ───────────────────────
err$parent is not an S3 object
── 3. Failure (test-err.R:254:3): errors from subprocess ───────────────────────
is.null(err$parent$trace) is not FALSE
`actual`: TRUE
`expected`: FALSE
My strategy was to update all those packages first that will go smoothly
but it seems r-cran-processx is now a blocker for several others and this
should be fixed. Any hint for this?
Kind regards
Andreas.
