The goal of this repository is to track intermittent failures on CRAN packages checks.
Failures defined as warnings, notes or errors without change on:
- R version used (if not stable the same svn snapshot)
- The package version (Note that CRAN might modify a package without changing the version)
- Their dependencies
Reasons of these failures might be because the packages depend on:
- Random generation numbers
- Flacky external resources
- Other ?
Why is this important?
Because package maintainers of dependencies of that package, R core and CRAN team need to check if the failures are false positives.
This repository started because it was suggested as a step that the R-repositories working group could do.
