How it started. How it's going. We have 500+ fewer package on CRAN than at '19k packages' in March. Enforcing quality levels is harsh. We all hate rejection (from CRAN, journals, conferences, ...) so this is not popular. But it helps ensure quality. #rstats
Hey, look, round number at CRAN! A big, big thank you to the CRAN maintainers who are volunteers putting together an unparallel repository with unmatched quality guarantees, year in and out. Very much appreciated! (Even if #RStats package authors like myself grumble at times.)

`r2u` is indeed an option. The 1st tweet for `r2u` showed `tidyverse` via a 1-command install on Ubuntu 20.04 (see below), it shouldn't fail on `broom`. If you have something reproducible, can you open an issue at the eddelbuettel/r2u repo? I use 22.04 day-to-day with it too.

#RStats 4.2.1, the first patch release for the R 4.2.* series, will drop June 23 as @pdalgd just posted to r-announce and r-devel. Details will appear in due course at the top of the usual page developer.r-project.org/

Installing packages `sf readr xlsx sqldf tmap DT` with one command in the `r2u` demo container: one command, all binaries, all dependencies, and in seconds (cf github.com/rocker-org/rocker…) Works the same way on your Ubuntu server, desktop, laptop cloud instance #rstats #rspatial

You were here in spirit as I did wear 'Keep Kalman Filter' on which got a few thumbs ups. So thanks again for that!

Mission accomplished. Daughter #2 successfully moved to lovely Baltimore, and delicious seafood consumed at habor. Another good day.

I prefer and use current Ubuntu releases, so it is 22.04 for myself, Using r2u with bspm set up (as eg in the demo container) all it takes is a single $ install.r leaflet and you can then do `library(leaflet)` in #Rstats. So you can, I would consider upgrading to 22.04.

Replying to @rappa753
📦 You are picking a great time to use #rstats in Ubuntu. For easier package installation from binary sources, check out @rstudio binary package manager or @eddelbuettel 's new r2u project dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… . I've been using R on Linux since 2005 ...
