[Apologies for cross-posting] A colleague uses a package I maintain (rstpm2) as a dependency in their package (rsimsum) with testing using GitHub Actions. They found that testing failed against R versions 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 because recent versions of RcppArmadillo (which is a dependency in rstpm2) require C++11. As a dependency diagram:
rsimsum --> rstpm2 --> RcppArmadillo Should I update rstpm2 to include "CXX_STD = CXX11" in the Makevars and Makevars.win files and add "SystemRequirements: C++11" to the DESCRIPTION, or is there a simple way in GitHub Actions to use C++11 for older versions of R? Moreover, as a principle, should a package need to change the Makevars and DESCRIPTION files to suit the most recent updates of their dependencies? I would have thought that such a need would break many packages. Sincerely, Mark. När du skickar e-post till Karolinska Institutet (KI) innebär detta att KI kommer att behandla dina personuppgifter.
