[R-pkg-devel] False positive antivirus reports on package vignettes

Dirk Eddelbuettel 
This really is Dadaism (or maybe Absurdism? Where are our art historians?)

By now I heard from one of the affected scientists via a private slack
message. A choice quote:

   basically the pdf is moved into quarantine, and our IT are now threatening
   us to format all our laptops

This is beyond parody.

Anyway, as a first step I changed the (binary) pdf file (by an update of the
underlying .bib file) and r-universe has new builds one can install via

  repos <- c("https://rcppcore.r-universe.dev", getOption("repos"))
  install.packages('RcppArmadillo', repos = repos)

Maybe these do not tickle the silly anti-virsu tool.
