Greetings I just tried to upload a new version of stationery, my collection of Sweave and markdown templates. CRAN fails to build vignettes, almost certainly a problem in Pandoc (what version is CRAN using?). My experience with markdown in general is that if you don't like the format they provide "out of the box", you are in a pretty bad situation. This is just more of the same.
I succeed rebuilding my package with R-devel on Ubuntu Linux. $ R --version R Under development (unstable) (2019-10-26 r77334) -- "Unsuffered Consequences" I see same success with any pandoc: $ pandoc --version pandoc 2.2.3.2 or $ pandoc --version pandoc 2.7.3 Compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.5.4, texmath 0.11.2.2, skylighting 0.8.1 However, on the systems used by CRAN, they see get errors that have no error messages, no diagnostic information. Last summer, Prof. Ripley notified me there was trouble upstream with Pandoc and I thought I had that figured out, I'm unable to reproduce same old problem about unrecognized UTF-8 character now. Old problem was summarized here https://stackoverflow.com/q/54792233/1086346 The current version of Pandoc and markdown on the CRAN server does not give same UTF warning. Would one of you that has access to that system be willing to send me the actual error output and latex log files so I can see what is wrong? Can I see output from "sessionInfo()" on the CRAN build system? Or would somebody try to build this package and if it produces an error, send me the logs and or working directory: http://pj.freefaculty.org/scraps/stationery_0.98.21.tar.gz In the CRAN build log, there's no helpful guidance * checking re-building of vignette outputs ...
