sanitizers 0.1.1 on CRAN: Updated and Expanded

dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2…
#rstats
A first update in nine years (!!) with a new example, an expanded README and other small updates. Squash those bugs with sanitizers!

Ah, yes, that can happen as the binary reflects the build environment. You analysed this correctly and did the right thing as we can have multiple distinct libicu* versions installed. One can also pull a missing library 'by hand' from packages.ubuntu.com as a one-off.
One just uses #Rstats 4.3.0 from the standard LTS repo mirrored at CRAN: distros can generally use prior (LTS or normal) releases just fine.
As this came up over on the other site see my post: mastodon.social/@eddelbuette…

For a C++ library we set up a CMake variable that takes care of it in that GitHub Action that builds and uploads.
I have a small new artifact creater (pending PR) where the logic was tested first in another repo:
github.com/single-cell-data/…
#r2u keeps on trucking: now just over five million .deb packages for #Rstats on Ubuntu LTS (focal or jammy) in the thirteen months since the start.
Easy, fast, reliable -- pick all three!

DOT now gets some small things right. One example is protecting the bike lanes with these small concrete barriers to avoid encroachment from parked cars. Sadly not everywhere: Lake St is still a mess in parts. And of then of course all the potholes...

David Kane will run another session of his (free !!) Data Science Bootcamp starting June 5. It targets high-schoolers and assumes zero prior programming or statistical knowledge. He is a very good fellow so I recommend this to any young ones. #rstats

So this happens once one become empty nesters with daughters at college: all of a sudden you find yourself feeding your neighborhood niece and nephew for home-made pizza night.

#Rstats package `RcppArmadillo` package has 1074 reverse dependencies. The last update was processed without any manual inspection, extra emails steps, or nags. Some people may try telling you that CRAN is 'onerous' or 'difficult'. They are wrong.

Good point. That also works with the older-school predecessor as an option. Done that before for some fancier fonts dances, and come to think about it I think all my lecture slides does think (would neeed to check).
I am not good at his. I am still stuck at reflexively addiing `\usepackage{avant}` or maybe `\usepackage{palatino}`. Sending a bat signal to @Apoorva__Lal who aces this. Maybe he can help <grin>

Yes and I would also consider the font choice in your handy report <grin> After coming up on 35 years with latex and friends I just do not want to look at computer modern ever again. But I appreciate the classicism. Very tinyverse, that.

Nice. I am about two months in (connect2 claims 187k meters, which seems high?) and like it. Still not so sure "the form" is right but I do go longer and faster than when I started. Made the mistake of looking at quantiles what I do now (5k each time). Work to do :)

Sweet. Nice timing: I hadn't set up a `pkg-fonts-*` for my own use (but also usable on any @Debian/@Ubuntu box) since (IIRC) the jetbrains mono one (which was later replaced by a distro one). Have a few more pkg-fonts-* at @github.
