[R-pkg-devel] pandoc missing on r-release-macos-x86_64, r-oldrel-macos-x86_64

[Simon Urbanek]

Dirk,

thanks, pandoc was only temporarily unavailable due to 4.2.0 release preparations (update of the dependencies). It was rectified since. Unfortunately the full CRAN re-build takes more than a day so the time from the build, fixing issues to reporting on the CRAN website can take a few days until we are back to incremental builds. Long story short, should be fixed.

Cheers,
Simon
