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

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.
Dirk
