[R-pkg-devel] help interpreting a response from CRAN

[Ben Bolker]

   My submission from auto-check, and I'm not sure why because Windows and Debian checks both list "OK" and there are no unresolved problems on the CRAN status ...

   My current guess is that the problem is with the too-long check time on Windows (NOTE: "Overall checktime 18 min > 10 min")

  I guess I have to get busy setting more tests and examples to skip-on-CRAN (kind of a pain as there's no low-hanging fruit - other than the 'testthat' tests, none of the individual test files take longer than 15sec, although this is doubled because they have to be run on 386 and x64 ...)

  An alternative is that this is a confusingly worded message indicating that there are strong rev dependencies so the package needs to be further checked? (That seems unlikely as it explicitly asks me to resubmit)

   Can anyone confirm/support those guesses?

   cheers
