Kevin,

R-Forge is still alive but there are problems with the build queue as you noticed. The problems occurred after R-Forge upgraded to R 4.4.0 - just as there was a switch in the maintenance team at WU Wien.

The problem is with the Windows build/check tools which work fine when run manually but either fail (if there is compiled code in the package) or stall when run in batch mode.

Jorge, the new member in the admin team at WU, has been going through all the scripts with Uwe (Ligges) but they haven't spotted the problem so far. I think that the next step will be to migrate the Windows build/check processes to the Win-Builder machine.

I hope that they will succeed in doing so in the next weeks. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Best wishes,
Achim

Hi,

I have been maintaining packages in R-Forge for many tears. Last week I sent an email to r-fo...@r-project.org to report problems with the build process. It appears that any changes I have pushed to R-Forge over approximately the last two months have resulted in the package remaining in the "Building" state, even though the logs suggest that the package built successfully on both LINUX and Windows. (Also, four of the six affected packages only included changes to the man pages to clean up NOTEs from the R cmd checks on old versions at CRAN, where the new versions now happily reside.) I have received no response nor acknowledgement to my email to R-Forge.

Assuming that R-Forge has finally succumbed to the ravages of entropy, does anyone have advice on creating a git project that contains multiple R packages? (I really don't want to have to create 20+ new git projects, one per package).

Best,
   Kevin
