[R-pkg-devel] advice on a rejected package (I think, because time was 13min, in excess of 10min limit)

Thanks, Dirk. On my machine, the test suite takes 85 seconds. Assuming the CRAN machines are about half as fast, eliminating all the tests might get oce under the 10 minute limit.

Out of curiosity, how did you find out it is because of a time limit? In
the outputs shown in your original post I only see a failed test on
Linux. If it takes only 85 seconds on your machine, using reasonable
amount of memory, but several times longer elsewhere, I would recommend
first looking into the cause of the slowdown.

Tomas, thanks for your comment.  Perhaps I ought to provide a bit more information.

I found out the time near the end of the email, where it said

Flavor: r-devel-windows-x86_64
Check: Overall checktime, Result: NOTE
Overall checktime 13 min > 10 min

The 85 seconds to which I refer is on my local machine (a laptop) and it is only for the tests part. I don't think I saw time broken-down in the links provided in the email I received (pasted below ... but note that none of these links works for me today, although they worked 15 hours ago).

Importantly, I am quite curious about your reference to a failed linux test.  I don't recall seeing any errors for my new version (1.7-3) on the following links (from the original email I received from CRAN).  I did, however, see errors for the previous version (1.7-2); indeed these were the reason why I was told to make a new CRAN release.
