In my limited experience there are usually tests that can't run on CRAN because they take too long, rely on external software or configuration that is absent, or just fail on CRAN only (which is naturally hard to debug). This seems normal, and having the ability to turn off some tests is useful. The fact that multiple workarounds have evolved to do this suggests that the need is widespread. > -- Sent from Gmail Mobile [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
