[R-SIG-Mac] code-signing for builds of R from the developer page?

[Kevin Ushey]

Hi,

It looks like the builds of R from http://mac.r-project.org/ are typically
not code-signed, and so one normally gets a Gatekeeper warning when trying
to install them. E.g. I see (on macOS 10.14.6):

“R-3.6-branch-el-capitan.pkg” can’t be opened because it is from an
unidentified developer.

Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App
Store and identified developers.


Is there any chance this might change in the future?

Thanks,
Kevin
