FYI, in past when queues got stuck, Uwe told me it's often a package that launches an external process (e.g. java.exe) that doesn't terminate and prevents R CMD check from terminating/timing out. He got watchdogs to kill such stray events but there are false negatives.
A couple of weeks ago I proposed to add a placeholder for the package currently tested and Uwe said he might look into it, e.g. $ curl ftp://win-builder.r-project.org/R-devel/ 02-05-20 03:10PM 2359737 bayestestR_0.5.2.tar.gz 02-05-20 11:42AM 0 some.pkg_0.0.1.tar.gz-PROCESSING 02-05-20 11:56AM 5053108 catdata_1.2.2.tar.gz Even if it doesn't solve the problem, it'll communicate to "us" that something is stuck and what it is. Anyway, we can help out by reporting (like this) when a queue look stuck. Then I think it helps to clarify which queue/builder is stuck.
