No, too many users still have 10.5 and 10.6 has dropped ppc support, so we don't plan to drop Leopard support anytime soon. > Is there a possibility that you bifurcate the builds into 'current' and > 'older' systems which, IIRC, is done for Windoze as per > http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_Rcpp.html > > It is a bit of a mismatch that you pull pre-release versions of R itself yet > host them on older OS versions. > No, even R-devel is build with 10.5 target - R version and OS have nothing it common. Windows is split only because of 64-bit support which is not available in older OSes - that is the only reason why the builds are not on XP anymore, they would be otherwise. > Anyway---I will point our OS X user to source installs. > Well, I don't think that helps in any way - the test will still fail for all 10.5 users. Why don't you just fix the test? It's up to you, but removing Rcpp from CRAN won't help anyone (well, almost ;)).
