(Note that since the string 'r-api-3.4' is entirely arbitrary, it can be changed to something technically more neutral, like 'r-debian-epoch-3.4' or whatever is better). Since it is unfortunately not possible to do binNMUs on architecture-independant packages, we will need a bunch of source uploads, but hopefully we will get there. Here is an example on how to see which arch-independant packages need a rebuild, per maintainer. grep-aptavail -FDepends r-api-3 -a -FArchitecture all -a -FMaintainer Science -sPackage Package: r-cran-arm Package: r-cran-bms Package: r-cran-bradleyterry2 Package: r-cran-ca Package: r-cran-coda Package: r-cran-conting [and a few dozens more] Have a nice day -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan
