And this happens when you add r2u aka cranapt to a brandnew 22.04 setup (and you also use `wajig` by @KayonToga as an `apt` frontend as I have for 20+ years):
"This is 18070 up on the previous count with 18070 new packages."
Just delightful. 19k CRAN + Bioc Binaries. #RStats

Installing R binaries on Ubuntu is now even easier, see @eddelbuettel post below.
I finally set this up on my laptop, to avoid compiling CRAN and Bioc pkgs locally.
Using #RStats on @Ubuntu LTS 20.04 or 22.04?
The new #CRANapt repo has 19000 .deb binaries for each with full dependencies and `apt` integration. Demo of a full `brms` installation in 13 seconds (using @Docker via @gitpod in the browser).

CRAN is so well-oiled and impressive for suitable #RStats packages. This has 978 (!!) reverse depends yet was auto-processed in under three hours (!!).
More fine upstream work by Conrad; and I ran three full rev dep checks (taking 14 hrs on an old machine...) leading up to it.

Reposting as more reports from happy users upgrading, adjusting, or first installing their #RStats on @Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04.
From zero to `brms` in 13 sec (demo below).
From zero to `tidyverse` in 18 sec (demo'ed earlier).
Give it a spin! More at eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u

Well look what #RStats is now checking for:
- "is excessive" for too many depends,
- "makes package vulnerable" for high number of imports.
Someone may have been looking at the tinyverse.org website 😀

Unreal. 423 updates for #RStats packages at CRAN.
Some new packages, some updates as usual --- but also an somewhat unusual and large number of removals. Which is how we got tripped up by the safety check.

Yikes. Just noticed my @CRANberriesFeed has been silent for a bit so I checked the `cron` log -- and the safety valve in the code below prevented updates ... for fear of accidentally flooding.
Be warned, there will be lots coming. #Rstats changes a coming...

Every time I have a programming question and I rly need help, I post it on Reddit and then log into another account and reply to it with an obscenely incorrect answer. Ppl don’t care about helping others but they LOVE correcting others. Works 100% of the time

searched the archives for this gem to wish the best dad ever a very happy birthday! @eddelbuettel now that I’m a girl in stem that knows more than one coding language, there are endless possibilities for this year’s birthday & father’s day cards :)
So I got a #Java Father's Day card from the 18 year old who seemingly survived AP Comp Sci. Plus a cameo from the best cat of all...

"Fisher is one of the most famous statisticians ever, which is another way of saying he is not very famous at all."
@TheEconomist on Fisher, reflections at Cambridge, and how "The past is another country; they do things differently there." #RStats

Yes.
Also in the context of packages, package managers, and in this highlighted special case of the (wonderful) CRAN ecosystem for #RStats -- a blog post of mine titled 'less is more' with a nod to Mies van der Rohe.

Excellent. As usual we
- uploaded the official @Debian r-base package
- created @Ubuntu PPA builds for 20.04, 21.10, 22.04
- created @Docker rocker/r-base:4.2.0 and :latest
- created official @Docker r-base PR which is pending
CRAN backports to follow. #RStats
#rstats 4.2.0 "Vigorous Calisthenics" (source version) has been released. (For the impatient: Look in cran.r-project.org/src/base/…)
