Re: [R-pkg-devel] Checksums changed on CRAN without any visible modifications to files.

Thx Henrik. That's indeed one of the issues: right now these minor and defendable changes are not reflected in the version or filename. Hence there's really no way to know the tarball (and hence the checksums) changed other than a build suddenly failing. Our sysadmin proposed to add eg _1 or _patc

Dear all, I have another report of checksums for CRAN packages that changed without any visible change to the package itself. https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/6446 At the time of the release of R3.5, pkgmaker was at version 0.22. A bit after the release, this version wa
