R devel - Jan 2023 - rhub vs. CRAN fedora-*-devel, using armadillo & slapack

Dear R-devel people,

We are working to submit a package which is mainly a binding over a C++ lib
(https://github.com/libKriging) using armadillo.
It is _not_ a standard RcppArmadillo package, because we also had to provide a
python binding... so there is a huge layer of cmake & scripting to make it
work with a standard armadillo (but using same version that RcppArmadillo).
It seems now working with almost all CRAN targets, but a problem remains with
fedora (clang & gcc) devel.

Our issue is that the rhub docker is not well sync with the CRAN
fedora-clang-devel config:
- failing on CRAN (without clear reason):
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang/rlibkriging-00check.html
- passing on rhub:
https://builder.r-hub.io/status/rlibkriging_0.7-3.tar.gz-20f7dc7562726497af7c678ab41f4dea

So we cannot investigate and fix the problem.

Note that we did quite strange things with the fedora platforms: include
explicitely slapack to provide simple precision for our (vanilla) armadillo...

Do you have any idea, or even known problem in mind, that could be related to
this ?

Best regards,

I see? 2 candidates for? reasons of failing on CRAN:
 ?1. test time is 30 min while 15 min are allowed;
 ?2. your code try to get 30 threads while CRAN limits them to 2;

Try to make your tests shorter ( < 15 min) on 2 threads. May be it will 
help.

Best,
Serguei.
