There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository R: update to 4.0.2. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/24126 Description: This is a major version update to R with some breaking changes for older R packages/scripts. Although the problems with most CRAN packages should be resolved as CRAN gave package authors a deadline to submit fixes. I've been using R 4.0 for a couple of months now and not experienced any problems. ## Breaking Changes - Packages need to be (re-)installed under this version (4.0.2) of R. - R now uses a stringsAsFactors = FALSE default, and hence by default no longer converts strings to factors in calls to data.frame() and read.table(). A large number of packages relied on the previous behaviour and so have needed/will need updating. ## Build Changes - This version of R is built against the PCRE2 library for Perl-like regular expressions, if available. - Enable memory profiling by building with --enable-memory-profiling flag, this is the default on all binaries provided by upstream, and several other distros. ## Dependencies to Build and Check Some R-cran-* packages failed xlint, so I've changed those where appropriate. - [x] R-cran-R6 - [x] R-cran-RColorBrewer - [x] R-cran-Rcpp - [x] R-cran-assertthat - [x] R-cran-backports - [x] R-cran-callr - [x] R-cran-cli - [x] R-cran-colorspace - [x] R-cran-crayon - [x] R-cran-data.table - [x] R-cran-desc - [x] R-cran-dichromat - [x] R-cran-digest - [x] R-cran-ellipsis - [x] R-cran-evaluate - [x] R-cran-fansi - [x] R-cran-farver - [x] R-cran-generics - [x] R-cran-ggplot2 - [x] R-cran-glue - [x] R-cran-gsubfn - [x] R-cran-gtable - [x] R-cran-isoband - [x] R-cran-labeling - [x] R-cran-lazyeval - [x] R-cran-lifecycle - [x] R-cran-lubridate - [x] R-cran-magrittr - [x] R-cran-munsell - [x] R-cran-nloptr - [x] R-cran-pillar - [x] R-cran-pkgbuild - [x] R-cran-pkgconfig - [x] R-cran-pkgload - [x] R-cran-plyr - [x] R-cran-praise - [x] R-cran-prettyunits - [x] R-cran-processx - [x] R-cran-proto - [x] R-cran-ps - [x] R-cran-reshape2 - [x] R-cran-rlang - [x] R-cran-rprojroot - [x] R-cran-rstudioapi - [x] R-cran-scales - [x] R-cran-stringi - [x] R-cran-stringr - [x] R-cran-testthat - [x] R-cran-tibble - [x] R-cran-utf8 - [x] R-cran-vctrs - [x] R-cran-viridisLite - [x] R-cran-withr - [x] R-cran-zeallot - [x] R-cran-zoo - [x] emacs-ess - [x] rstudio (this takes a while to build, will probably be a separate PR)
