That seems unlikely. The default installs usually work automatically and get binaries from the right place. Jeroon's issue is mostly if you want to force in a certain set of compiled packages from CRAN and/or that our documentation needs updating.
However, I gather that there was a messup in Rcpp which broke it on 4.4.2, and I would not be surprised if fallout from that would affect the CRAN ecosystem via reverse dependencies for a while. (The actual issue got fixed quite fast, but things may take time to settle.) - pd > On 11 Nov 2024, at 17:38 , Clement Kent <clementfk...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks, Iris.
