big-sur-arm64 binary

[adamaltmejd]

Have https://Rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table set as a repo in getOption("repos") but renv produces the following warning at startup, guessing because the url 404s:

1: could not retrieve available packages for url 'https://Rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/contrib/4.1'

I don't know what is renv, please define your problem with the use of base R.

We don't produce binaries for Mac, not just big sure but any version of Mac. As of current moment.

Strange, maybe this started with an update of renv that coincided with me moving over from homebrew R 4.1 to the mac binary. Renv is here: https://rstudio.github.io/renv/articles/renv.html, and on startup I get that message. But maybe its got nothing to do with data.table, thanks!

[adamaltmejd]

Did not notice before but the warning message actually shows up when install.packages() is run too if getOption("repos") contains "https://Rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table"

[jangorecki]

This will be addressed in #3326

[adamaltmejd]

Still receiving the same warning. Should one not set the url in option("repos") on Mac anymore?

> install.packages("data.table")
Installing package into ‘/Users/adam/.R/packages’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning: unable to access index for repository https://Rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/bin/macosx/big-sur-arm64/contrib/4.1:

[jangorecki]

You are attempting to install Mac binaries, try sources instead, "type" argument to install.packages

[adamaltmejd]

Sure, I know. My problem here is i guess mainly with renv which cannot access and retrieve the list of packages available at the data.table repository making it issue a warning at every startup. Don't know how repositories are structured but couldn't it be that you are missing some file indicating that a data.table binary is not available?

[jangorecki]

I think it may be issue with renv that assumes binaries are present.

[adamaltmejd]

Yeah. Filed an issue yesterday: rstudio/renv#979

[adamaltmejd]

See rstudio/renv#979 (comment)

Seems warning shows up in base R too because of missing PACKAGES file.
