Is there any place that lists packages that are 64-bit incompatible? Or, will I just have to march through all my packages and check them one-by-one on CRAN?
An approximation to that is to call
available.packages(type="win.binary") on both versions, and compare the
lists. Packages may fail to appear for reasons other than
incompatibility, but incompatible packages won't be available in binary
versions.
