[R-pkg-devel] Package pending for weeks

[Andreas Dominik Cullmann via R-package-devel]

Dear All,
I have a package, fritools, that has been pending on
https://cran.r-project.org/incoming/pending/ since late October now.
Two weeks ago I wrote to CRAN Team and asked about it, but they didn't answer.

There have been dozens of packages in and out pending since late October, 22th.
Has anybody got any idea about how CRAN Team prioritizes pending packages?

Thanks,
Dominik

[R-pkg-devel] Failing vignette engine for package rasciidoc on solaris

[Andreas Dominik Cullmann via R-package-devel]

Dear List,
one of my packages, rasciidoc (a simple wrapper to 'knitr' and 'asciidoc'),
includes a minimal vigentte engine.
When submitting the package with a vignette using that engine, the vignette is
re-built on all platforms except for r-patched-solaris-x86:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_rasciidoc.html
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-patched-solaris-x86/rasciidoc-00check.html

Maybe rasciidoc's vignette engine is somewhat superfluous, but since it works
for all platforms except solaris, I kind of would like to use it. 

I cannot reproduce the error using rhub:
  ## Test environments
  - R-hub solaris-x86-patched-ods (r-release)
  
  ## R CMD check results
  ❯ On solaris-x86-patched-ods (r-release)
checking CRAN incoming feasibility ... WARNING
Maintainer: ‘Andreas Dominik Cullmann ’

Insufficient package version (submitted: 2.2.1, existing: 2.2.1)

Days since last update: 5

Files ‘README.md’ or ‘NEWS.md’ cannot be checked without ‘pandoc’ being 
installed.

   user system elapsed
rasciidoc 2.724  0.352   48.75
  
  0 errors ✔ | 1 warning ✖ | 2 notes ✖


And I happen to have no solaris box at hand for testing. 
Does anybody have any suggestion on how I could tackle this?
Thanks and best regards,
Dominik
