[R-SIG-Mac] R devel == 4.0.0?

[peter dalgaard]

This seems to have been resolved at this point. I think "last successful" actually is the expected modus operandi, something just got messed up (the r-devel SVN has never contained the 3.6.3 version label, it is always "x.y.0 under development"). 

Another question is whether a failed regression test is reason enough to hold back the entire .pkg build, given that it is already by definition unstable. For source tarballs, I don't even check beyond being able to actually build the things, on the premise that it is often more important to get code tested in other areas than to fix a failing regression test.

Notice that we go to 4.0.0 alpha tomorrow so presumably an R-4-0-branch entry should arrive on mac.r-project.org shortly.
