[R] I'd like to request that my R CRAN package is not tested on Solaris OS
Dear R-help team, I'm the maintainer of the textTinyR package. Currently the package fails on the Solaris Operating System (OS), you can see the results in the following weblink: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_textTinyR.html All my packages are tested on Solaris OS automatically but I never check my R packages before submitting to CRAN on Solaris OS because I don't have any experience using it. I also won't be in place to fix this error (even if I utilize a Virtual Machine). Due to the fact that my package works on Linux, Windows and Macintosh (I can fix the errors in all these three OS because I have installations in my Computer) can I request to exclude the textTinyR package from the Solaris OS testing / CRAN checking (that means the Solaris test frameworks will not appear in the CRAN Package test results page)? Moreover, whom should I send an e-mail to make this request? I processed the data of all current packages on CRAN <https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary_by_package.html> and there are 153 submitted packages that are not tested on Solaris (I attach the csv file of these packages in this e-mail), which means it's possible for a package to not be tested on this OS. I'd like an answer before the 27th October otherwise the package will be removed from CRAN. Thank you in advance and for your time, Lampros Mouselimis

Hi Lampros, I cannot answer your question but I believe the correct place to post such a question would be the r-package-devel list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel Good luck On Fri, Oct 22, 2021 at 2:13 PM lampros mouselimis <mouselimislampros at gmail.com> wrote:> > Dear R-help team, > > I'm the maintainer of the textTinyR package.

Lampros, You can use Rhub for testing packages on various platforms. I had a similar issue to you...I had a tiny bug that was only failing on M1mac. I was able to resolve it by repeatedly testing my package on Rhub. Here's how I did that: https://github.com/kwstat/nipals/issues/5 Kevin Wright On Fri, Oct 22, 2021 at 6:13 AM lampros mouselimis < mouselimislampros at gmail.com> wrote:> Dear R-help team, > > I'm the maintainer of the textTinyR package.
