Me too. Submitted a package about 18 hours ago, and so far not a
sausage. Although it's churlish to complain, one gets used to a service
that has been provided and gets annoyed when the service disappears.

True, but it would be unnecessary if `R CMD check —as-cran` did exactly the same thing as win-builder (as well as the extra, informal checks done on a first submission).

Not entirely true. The package that I am currently trying to get built is for use by some consulting clients and is not (yet) for public release. So I can't/don't submit it to CRAN so as to get a Windoze binary that way.

cheers,

Rolf

P.S. I note that the winbuilder web site says:

 Please do not upload Bioconductor packages or CRAN packages.
 Both Bioconductor and CRAN do have build systems ....

I presume that this exhortation is of some antiquity and is "no longer operative".
