[VAC] August
Hi everybody,
with the freeze we have regrown a big backlog of outdated r-cran-*
packages (in my opinion there is not gain uploading to experimental
since the only way to move them to unstable is to upload again). Last
year, I have made a large contribution for keeping these packages up to
date and just in case I wanted to let you know that I will only restart
to do so in September.
Actually, before putting a serious effort in the backlog cleaning, maybe
we can take the opportunity to have a serious discussion in September
about the sustainability of our model, the possibility to remove most
package that are not in the dependency graph of non-R packages (given
how easy it is to install trusted source or binary pacages from third
parties such as the ones distributed by Dirk and others), the
opportunity to automate even further, the difficulty to support
other architectures than amd64 and arm64 with our limited resources,
and a possible switch to dgit?
Have a nice … month!
Charles
