[R-SIG-Mac] CRAN-like M1mac test environment?

[Wollschlaeger, Daniel]

Many thanks for your quick response! I apologize for missing the option to
select r-devel on Macbuilder. However, the error is not triggered either:
https://mac.r-project.org/macbuilder/results/1670933959-5606022c42f1c98d/

Could there be something new about CRAN's aarch64-apple-darwin22.1.0
platform as compared to Macbuilder's aarch64-apple-darwin20 platform?

Another thought: In the R-sig-mac archives, I noticed a discussion abou gmp
and mpfr. The package I'm using lists gmp and mpfr as SystemRequirements
(but does not import the R packages gmp and Rmpfr). Could this be related?

Thank you! Daniel

Daniel,

note that you can choose R-devel in MacBuilder (select "development" under R
version). If your package works on the MacBuilder then it's good as far as
macOS goes since that is identical to the CRAN setup.

Cheers,
Simon
