Yes, it is - from the CRAN policy:
Uploads must be source tarballs created by R CMD build and
following the PACKAGE_VERSION.tar.gz naming scheme.
This should be done with current R-patched or the current release of R.
But as explained in the previous email the Posit tools you mentioned are simply
front-ends which do some stuff and then call R CMD build at the end, so they
still fit the bill.
