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. -pd > On 26 Mar 2020, at 09:59 , Patrick Schratz <patrick.schr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Even if the R-devel build failed for a day, why does the tarball link/contain > the R 3.6 source then? > > I update my R-devel install every few days automatically and would not notice > that I suddenly got R-release via that URL. > Rather I would prefer a 404 or (better) the latest successful R-devel build? > > @Simon > Clarification would be appreciated. > > Cheers, Patrick > On 26.
