[R-SIG-Mac] Binary R-devel Builds For OS-X

[peter dalgaard]

Simon is the one who has the full detail, but at this point, I get 

R version 4.0.1 beta (2020-05-28 r78607) -- "See Things Now"

According to mac.r-project.org, this was built at 19:29 on May 28. It's not really clear what time zone that is... The transition to beta was just after midnight CET on the 27th which is like 10AM in Auckland, so you'd expect it to be picked up for the May 27 build, but maybe something got stalled. Or there might be a delay between the SVN checkout and the .pkg build.

Also, the unqualified x.y.z name is only there while the relase tarball is being created, which is about 5 minutes on release day so never makes it to the nightly builds.)
