Dear R-pkg-dev folk, The cpp11 package, which was developed yet is no longer maintained by Jim Hester, now triggers warnings on some CRAN pre-submit checks for "non-API calls to R" via "SETLENGTH", "SET_TRUELENGTH", and others. The relevant issue is https://github.com/r-lib/cpp11/issues/355, with a pull request to resolve at https://github.com/r-lib/cpp11/pull/358. Problem is the package is now largely inactive, with the PR hanging there for a month or so unattended. I presume this warning means I can not resubmit any package depending on cpp11 until this is resolved. But then there are currently 75 packages potentially affected by this which would then also be unable to be resubmitted. (Follow the links from the main GitHub issue for a glimpse of the scale of this problem.)
Any suggestions? In particular, it would be helpful, in this arguably unusual and quite prominent case, to hear any views from CRAN folk as to whether everybody dependent on cpp11 will have to wait for resolution before they'll be able to resubmit? Alternatively, any indication from anybody in a position to opine on cpp11 status and future maintenance plans would be great! Thanks, Mark ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
