R help - Oct 2015 - Package Installation: Repository for 3.2.1

Hi!

Guess, I got in trouble somehow now.
Not sure whether this question is placed well in this list. Do I have to ask my
question in R-SIG-MAC?

Installed R version: 3.2.1 for OS X up to 10.8

I did update the package list from within R application and installed some new
package versions.

Now I get a warning:

Warnmeldung:
Paket ?knitr? wurde unter R Version 3.2.2 erstellt
3.2.2 is only available for OS X up from 10.9

1. Which URL do I have to put in preferences to get only packages for my
Computer?
2. How do I repair things now? - If needed
> library()
tells me everything is in
?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library?

It's only a warning. There's no simple method for getting binary
packages for older R versions. Generally packages built with a minor version
upgrade will still work with one version back (but I have no experience doing
that with knitr). You can build older packages from the source files in the
Archives if needed.

Things might become more problematic in the future if you stay with OSX version
10.8, because I don't know if the dual SnowLeppard and Mavericks forks will
continue to be maintained. It was announced very recently that the build machine
was now running El Capitan, i.e. OSX 10.11

You should ask Mac specific questions on R-SIG-Mac.
