[R-pkg-devel] winbuilder status?

[Arne Henningsen]

Dear all

In recent days, I also experienced that I did not receive an email with a
link to the check results from winbuilder after uploading an improved
version of my micEcon package. On Friday morning (CEST), I uploaded the
package twice to both R-release and R-devel but I didn't receive any email.
Yesterday (Saturday) afternoon/evening I tried again and received an email
with the results of the check with R-release but not with R-devel. As there
was a warning, I uploaded a further improved package to both R-release and
R-devel last night. Although I did this twice, I didn't receive any email.
I checked my GMail spam folder but the emails aren't there either.  In
total, 5 times uploaded to R-release but only 1 email with results and 5
times uploaded to R-devel but no response at all. I have regularly used
winbuilder for many years but never experienced this problem before. Please
check this. Thanks a lot!

Best wishes,
Arne
