[R] CRAN package submission failed on solaris : timezone problem
Hi everyone I just submitted my new package to CRAN. All checks passed on all platforms, except one in solaris : as(df2, "Spectra") Error: tz1.set == tz2.set is not TRUE More details on : https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_geoSpectral.html In this package I defined an S4 class named "Spectra" that provides a slot with xts object and another slot with a POSIXct object. Example of the setAs method fails while I coerce a data.frame to Spectra. I tried to replicate the problem on my ubuntu-windows-mac machines and no luck. I then created a solaris virtual machine and installed everything, I still cannot replicate the error. All checks pass on the VM too. Searching this list gave nothing. When I google the error message "Error: tz1.set == tz2.set is not TRUE", my package name comes first... which leads me to think that not that many people already had a similar problem. I also changed the timezone of the solaris VM to an arbitrary timezone. No luck. I am at loss. I can't replicate the problem that occurred in CRAN's solaris servers. Can you please help me? regards Servet [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

If I had to guess, I would suspect it's this line causing issues: tz = format(time(object at time[1]),format="%Z") Possibly in combination with whether or not the CRAN Solaris machines are using the OS' timezone code or R's internal version when formatting the timezone.> I tried to replicate the problem on my ubuntu-windows-mac machines and > no luck.
