I am trying to install R on CentOS (either 7 or 8, behavior is the same) in an environment behind a firewall and while I am able to run:
R CMD make check I am unable to run: R CMD make check-devel These latter tests fail. The failure occurs in the internet access if() conditional statement in these two tests: https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/tests/internet.R https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/tests/internet2.R In my environment, nsl("cran.r-project.org") returns a valid, non-null value but subsequent commands in those test files do not successfully access the internet. I'd like to be able to run the full test suite given I am building from source. I'm wondering if it's possible to make these conditionals more strict so that the conditional tests internet access in a manner more similar to how internet access is used in the tests. Would this be possible? Or, make tests that require internet access into a distinct `check-internet` or similar? As an additional reference, the same conditional statement appears to also be used in these other tests: https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/tests/CRANtools.R https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/tests/libcurl.R Thanks, -Thomas Thomas J.
