source versions of packages no longer installed?

I pushed this commit and only AppVeyor (but not Travis) builds are failing because I increased dplyr version from 0.8.2 to 0.8.3-

* checking package namespace information ... OK
* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package required and available but unsuitable version: 'dplyr'
See section 'The DESCRIPTION file' in the 'Writing R Extensions'
manual.
* DONE
Status: 1 ERROR, 1 NOTE
See
  'C:/projects/ggstatsplot/ggstatsplot.Rcheck/00check.log'
for details.
Command exited with code 1
7z a failure.zip *.Rcheck\*

Is this because the new changes made no longer make it possible to download the source versions of R packages, like before?

It's very likely. Set PKGTYPE to both if you need the latest and greatest.

We've moved away from setting requirements to the most recent package versions, and try to import the minimum really required versions. See https://github.com/krlmlr/minver/ for a workflow to find out which versions your package really needs.

Thanks, that solved it.

@krlmlr Why do my builds fail even when I have set PKGTYPE to both?

https://github.com/IndrajeetPatil/ggstatsplot/blob/e0f2c2d3963e4b66dd49f85a5233122c8505b7e1/appveyor.yml#L19-L39

For example, this build fails because Rcpp's source version can't be downloaded-

** R
