[R-pkg-devel] new package version fails on r-devel fedora clang

[Tony Wilkes]

Hi everyone,

I followed the given advise to the best of my abilities: rewritten some c++ scripts to c, split large c++ scripts into smaller pieces, simplified the macros, reduced the install size & time of the package, and checked the package against fedora clang using rhub (unfortunately they didnt have clang21, but I checked what I could).
I re-submitted the new version pf package, version 0.1.5.2, to cran.
But when I checked the cran incoming website, i saw it was put under folder "archive", which means (I think) rejection. Not even pretest, just straight rejection. But i got no mail from cran. Did I miss something?

Most excellent work. I suspected this, but was not careful enough: I looked
for SIGKILL so 'today I learned' about SIGXCPU.

My recommendation ended up being the same though: those files should to be
smaller / simpler.
