AFAICT those problems were never seen before (i.e. with R< 2.12).
They show up randomly everyday for a small number of packages
(between 10 and 20 out of 400). The set of victims changes everyday
and any package seems to be a potential victim (I've not been able
to observe any obvious pattern so far).
Does anyone have any idea what could make 'R CMD build' and
'R CMD check' so confused/unreliable on Windows?
Brian had some ideas that the problems are related to the shell that is
used. Is the problem still apparent in a very recent R-devel from few
days ago? I am just back from vacations and have not updated yet.
I experienced the same problems and I am just iterating automatically if
typical problems are apparent from the log files. I hope some if not all
parts are solved now and will do some new test runs shortly.
Sounds good. I just upgraded to R-2.12 (2010-09-13 r52905) on our 32-bit
Windows machine and I'll report here tomorrow after the next build run
has completed. I can already see that this new R solves the issue I
reported here:

Thanks!

Best,

Antivirus software? I suspect you already ruled that out, but it has
been the culprit for problems with mysteriously disappearing
intermediate files in several cases, so I thought I'd mention it.
Actually I didn't try that yet because we still build BioC release
(using R-2.11.1) on these 2 Windows boxes and we don't see any of
those problems for the release builds. But I will. Could it be that
the fact that 'R CMD build' and 'R CMD check' are R-based in R-2.12
(and not Perl-based anymore) make them more fragile when something
like an antivirus is messing around with the filesystem?
Thanks for the suggestion,
H.
