Forgive me for not completely understanding the back and forth. Do I need to do anything on my end, or are these changes that are being made on the server side? - Keith

See discussions on r-sig-debian -- in essence I had the same thouht and this has been taken care of now in R 3.6.0-2. We add this to Renviron.site ## edd May 2019 ## ## Debian (and its derivatives) impose a set of compiler flags to prevent some known ## security issues with compiled code. These flags then become defaults for R as well ## (see eg /etc/R/Makeconf) but nevertheless confuse R as warnings get triggers. Users, ## on the other hand, are often stumped about these. So with this variable we declare ## these options as known for the local checks on the machine this file is on. ## ## See Section 8 of the R Internals manual for many more options to customize tests. _R_CHECK_COMPILATION_FLAGS_KNOWN_='-Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time' It may eventually move to Renviron now that Kurt kindly fixed an Renviron parser buglet with `=` assignments in r-devel So please add the environment variable now on all Debian and Ubuntu flavours, and/or upgrade to 3.6.0-2. Fedora adds these flags too, plus -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS since Fedora 28, see: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__stat.ethz.ch_pipermail_r-2Dpackage-2Ddevel_2018q2_002754.html&d=DwIFaQ&c=j5oPpO0eBH1iio48DtsedeElZfc04rx3ExJHeIIZuCs&r=fPRk5fx5iys38LPukC4wc6PALfhKJF_KlHbdD5hrfGc&m=CfJnEvpTss5ER8w_xXRZMDRvEhrseOVfAIu5aLZrY24&s=LjMY_8I7NS1NWWY4b4ijWmd8QV8E4pmF-TEqbB3dz8I&e= This last one is particularly difficult to conceal, because the resulting code includes calls to abort, for which R complains.
