Oh deary what flaming hell is this? Are you aware that this was addressed *years ago* upstream in our main repo? Did it occur to you to check the upstream repo, issue tickets, mailing lists?
Or do you just maximize for clickbait?

We have now received updated footage from #ASHEcon2023. Apparently the picture below is more accurately reflectively of the event. We stand by our original reporting and sources.

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:

#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
