[R-pkg-devel] Date of CRAN checks

[Lluís Revilla]

Dear list,

Recently after a package update I noticed an ERROR on one flavor.
I believe this is some problem with the r-release-macos-x86_64 flavor.
But I'm not sure if this is fixed on the system or not.
I was waiting to see if this got fixed with time (and thanks to the CRAN
volunteers).

A check landing page on CRAN had a date "Last updated on 2025-01-29
08:49:42 CET." then it changed to "2025-01-29 15:49:25 CET.". Because there
are some checks that are still from the old version of the package and the
failing check is still failing, I'm not sure which checks were updated. Is
this the date of the landing page of all the checks, or all the checks are
updated up to that date?

Bioconductor provides the time with two fields: StartedAt and EndedAt for
each flavor (and step).
I hoped to find a date on the check logs. It would make it easier to know
when it is updated and it has the same result as previously.
Is there a way to know when a given check was run on CRAN?

Best regards,

Lluís

PS:  The problem is shared by many packages (>50), the vignette can be
built but not rebuilt and it raises an error message about not finding
pandoc.
