I think the original package wouldn't have been archived unless it was 
failing tests and the author didn't address the failures.

I've been unable to reproduce the errors, so I expect to have to setup my own fedora_clang virtual machine to debug my package. Ideally I'd want a previous version to be more easily available while I figure out my issues. Is it against CRAN policy to resubmit an earlier version of an archived package, assuming I fully explain what led to the archival and re-submission in the submission comment? I'm sorry if this has already been asked, I couldn't find an answer online and wanted to check before resubmitting anything.
