[R-pkg-devel] Matrix and Mac OS

[Simon Urbanek]

Paul,

can you give us a bit more detail? Which package, which build and where you got the errors? Older builds may not have the latest Matrix.

Cheers,
Simon

I had to fix a few things due to changes in the latest Matrix package because of how qr works and I thought, given the apparent API change, I should then require the latest version. My error is, "Package required and available but unsuitable version: 'Matrix'"

What version do MacOS version test Matrix with by default? Where is this documented? I assumes it always tested with the latest version on CRAN, so I'm a bit surprised. Or will this be resolved soon and I shouldn't bother CRAN maintainers with a new version of my package?
