R 4.0.x compatibility

s-u opened this issue 4 years ago · 2 comments

There were some major changes in R 4.0.0 and I'm opening this to track the status of compatibility. So far I have identified the following issues:

function exports are no longer recognized as S3 methods. Go over dependent packages and check if they rely on it (so far gitgist was the one that broke)

The two obvious ones (githubgist and gitgist) are fixed. I tested the latter but not the former. However, I'm having "hanging" issues with gitgist and R 4.0.3 (not proxified), so more to be investigated.

I have a running instance with R 4.0.4, RCloud develop branch (13f75ed), githubgist + gist service server, proxified, PAM multi-user (so essentially the same as rcloud-5) and I have not found any issues so far, so I'll close it for now optimistically assuming we're compatible. If anything crops up, please open a specific issue.
