[R-pkg-devel] Check time > 10min

[Murray Efford]

Thanks to Dirk, Greg and Seb for grappling with this. The comments give me confidence to appeal to CRAN to wave this through as it stands - I think Uwe has obliged in the past, but I would rather not rely on that. More complete reporting of check times would be welcome.

If you follow the URL from the original post [1] you will see that it links
to a (Windows) check result ending in 'Status: OK'. No issue here.

Murray's original post also said '[it[ fails CRAN pre-test on Windows (R
4.5.0) because total check time exceeds 10 min (it's 760 seconds or 13 min)'.

So we are talking about two different checks.  As Seb alluded to, it is
unfortunate that the (failing) pre-check test does not give timings (whereas
the one you refer to does, but it did not fail).  Hth, and feel free to hit
me up off list with follow-ups as we may have gone on long enough on list.

Cheers, Dirk
