Re: [R-pkg-devel] R CMD build hanging for some but not all packages

Actually, cancel that: it finished successfully, but took 3 minutes to prepare 
the package:

r$> devtools::build()
v  checking for file 'C:\Users\hongo\Documents\GitHub\AzureStor/DESCRIPTION'    
    
-  preparing 'AzureStor': (3m 4s)
v  checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ...
-  installing the package to build vignettes
v  creating vignettes (6.5s)
-  checking for LF line-endings in source and make files and shell scripts 
(13.8s)  
-  checking for empty or unneeded directories
-  building 'AzureStor_3.1.0.9000.tar.gz'

This is really weird, I'm used to the package prep step taking 10 seconds at 
most.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [R-pkg-devel] R CMD build hanging for some but not all 
packages

This is with R 3.6.2 on Windows 10 Pro 1909.

In the last couple of weeks, devtools::build() and devtools::check() have 
started hanging on some, but not all, of my packages. After some poking around, 
I discovered that it's actually R CMD build that is having problems, right 
after the "checking for file 'DESCRIPTION'" step.

A reproducible example can be found by cloning my AzureStor package:

 If you run "R CMD build ." in the package directory, it should hang. This is a 
relatively simple package that doesn't require compilation, although it does 
import some commonly-used packages like httr, curl, jsonlite and xml2.

As far as I can tell, R on Ubuntu works fine. What's going on?
