| The latest upload of r-base, versioned 3.4.1.20170921-1, has bumped the ABI
| pseudo package from "r-api-3" to "r-api-3.4", as requested.
|
| Please therefore schedule rebuilds as necessary.
|
| The ben file should look like:
|
| title = "r-api-3.4";
| is_affected = .depends ~ /r-api-3(\.4)?/;
| is_good = .depends ~ /r-api-3\.4/;
| is_bad = .depends ~ /r-api-3\b/;
|
| Thanks,
This is somewhat the wrong bug report to attach this to as I argued (sadly,
in vain) for a different approach here in #868558. Maybe #861333, retitled by
Don to 'API transition of R packages' would have been more approriate.
I would just have filed a new one. But then I don't know those commands so
thanks for doing this.
