Re: [voidlinux/void-packages] R and CRAN packages: updates and questions (#14686)

Commit order is neither respected by travis nor by the actual builder. If all the CRAN packages _directly_depend on R at least the builder should dtrt.

All of the CRAN packages depend on R of course, but not on any explicit version. Should I add that?

The issue for this failure is the dependency chain: R-cran-scales -> R-cran-munsell -> R-cran-colorspaces. xbps-src only tracks dependencies only one level deep. So R-cran-colorspaces isn't necessarily built before R-cran-scales. The usual "fix" is to push the updates in the correct order, or as a workaround make R-cran-scales directly depend on R-cran-colorspaces.

They were updating packages faster than I could follow. Finally caught up!
