[R-pkg-devel] Cannot submit package due to false-positive rejection

[Jeff Newmiller]

This is definitely not a false positive. Find a way to not run long calcs during the CRAN build. There is no alternative.

One way this can be done is by only running your examples when an environment variable of your choosing exists. Since CRAN machines won't configure that variable, you can get around this hard requirement.

We think the rejection is a false positive, so we �reply-all to that message and explain� as following the official instruction. We provided explanation for all notes in that email (replied to cran-submissions using r-project.org<mailto:cran-submissions using r-project.org>) but did not receive any message after 9 days.
