[R-pkg-devel] Updating package with a dependency (rJava) that doesn't build on all flavours

[Tomáš Kliegr]

Hi,

machine, CRAN-submissions using r-project.org is the right place to report
this, please be patient.

I am  not sure this is the case, to me it looks like a recent policy change. The rJava builds were not going through on this particular machine for quite some time, and this had no effect on the updates of packages depending on rJava being accepted. Now, they seem to get automatically rejected. Regarding the email to CRAN-submissions using r-project.org, I sent it a week ago, but maybe this just takes longer than I though.. will wait,

It is also possible that I am overlooking something important...

Best,

Tomas

If I understand this issue correctly, it does not affect only my package, but also the maintainers of 50+ other packages that depend on rJava when they will try to update the package.

This is probably a temporary Java installation problem on a CRAN Windows
machine, CRAN-submissions using r-project.org is the right place to report
this, please be patient.

Thanks

This installation error was already there in the past submissions of my package to CRAN, and was not previously considered as a blocker to the package (or its updates) being accepted (Current CRAN status: ERROR: 1, OK: 10)
