Ubuntu cosmic support
Thanks! That makes perfect sense. We have production dockers based on 18.10 that we need to rebuild regularly. Changing the base image will require a lot of work, but we should have used an LTS distribution to begin with.

It still seems to be in the readme file. Isn't that just the "standard phaseout" of non-LTS distribution? While 18.10 (aka "cosmic") is gone, we still have the two most recent normal releases as you have 19.04 ("disco) and 19.10 ("eoan"). And then there are of course several LTS releases including "bionic" (18.04), "xenial" (16.04) and "trusty" (14.04) I tend to updated every six months (and usually a few weeks after a new one comes out) so the 'two most recent' ones works for me. You should probably upgrade to 19.04-- or maybe just downgrade (even for the CRAN repo) to 18.04. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org
