Upcoming new round of R package rebuilds [FWD: [Rd] R-devel object header changes that require reinstalling packages]
Hello everybody,
I just wanted to relay the information that some R packages will need a
rebuild after the next upgrade of R. (see the email forwarded below.)
(By the way, I apologise in advance that I am being crushed for time
currently and will not be able to help much).
Cheers,

Subject: [Rd] R-devel object header changes that require reinstalling packages
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1709121326430.30468@luke-Latitude>
For anyone using the development version of R:
svn revision 73243 introduces some changes to the memory layout of R
objects that require reinstalling packages using compiled
code. Attempting to load incompatible packages should signal an
error. These changes are to support a new extension framework for
basic R objects
(https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/ALTREP/ALTREP.html outlines the
framework). Merging the remainder of the framework should not
introduce more binary changes and is expected to occur in the next few
months.
Best,
luke
