I've been running Catalina since the first beta and upgraded to GM the day of release. Apart from having to stick R things into Full Disk Access I've had no issues with R nor XQuartz.
I read through the links provided and, while I do have said symlink in the relocated items folder Apple creates (this is new behavior for the GM), it gets re-created fine for me & XQuartz works fine (and the minor pkg deps I have installed that use it also work fine. This would appear to be a YMMV situation. -Bob > On Oct 8, 2019, at 4:19 PM, Luis Puerto <luiss.pue...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks a lot for the heads up! > > Cheers! > Luis > >> On 8 Oct 2019, at 22:49, Marc Schwartz via R-SIG-Mac >> <r-sig-mac@r-project.org> wrote: >> >> Hi All, >> >> Perhaps I missed something relevant along the way someplace, but I ran the >> upgrade to Catalina (10.15) last night.
