Debian Patches

Status for r-base/4.6.1-6

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
set_R_LIBS_USER_and_SITE_in_Renviron.patch Modify R_LIBS_USER and R_LIBS_SITE for Debian settings This goes back to a decision made jointly with R Core upstream in the early
2000s to support three default directories: /usr/lib/R/library for base and recommended
packages (as part of the binary), /usr/lib/R/site-library for binary r-cran-* packages
as part of the distro, and /usr/local/lib/R/site-library for user-controlled, non-distro
packages to be visible system-wide.
.
A recent-ish change in R 4.2.* made it that we needed to change where we set this here
and not in Renviron.site which would not be read in 'R -q' mode.

r-base (4.2.2.20221110-2) unstable; urgency=medium
