A minor package update, the first in over six years, for the RcppGetconf
package for reading system configuration — not unlike
getconf from the libc library — is now on CRAN
The changes are all minor package maintenance items of keeping URLs,
continuous integration, and best practices current. We had two helper
scripts use bash in their shebangs, and we just got dinged
in one of them. Tedious as this can at times seem, it ensures CRAN packages do in fact compile
just about anywhere which is a Good Thing (TM) so we obliged and updated
the package with that change—and all the others that had accumulated
over six years. No interface or behaviour changes, “just maintenance” as
one does at times.
The short list of changes in this release follows:

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report of changes relative to the previous release. More about the package is at the local RcppGetconf page and the GitHub repo.
