Works on other OSs too (if you call `xdg-open`)

RcppArmadillo 0.11.1.1.0 on CRAN: Updates R bindings to powerful and expressive C++ matrix library dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… #rcpp #rstats /cc @inschool4life

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.

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 😀 h/t @aaronwolen

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...
