[R-pkg-devel] Rolling Back an Archived Package

[Eric Giunta]

Hello all,

Recently I submitted a large update to the package I maintain and was unable to 
resolve the testing errors prior to it being archived. I've been unable to 
reproduce the errors, so I expect to have to setup my own fedora_clang virtual 
machine to debug my package. Ideally I'd want a previous version to be more 
easily available while I figure out my issues. Is it against CRAN policy to 
resubmit an earlier version of an archived package, assuming I fully explain 
what led to the archival and re-submission in the submission comment? I'm sorry 
if this has already been asked, I couldn't find an answer online and wanted to 
check before resubmitting anything.

Thank you for your time,
Eric

All,

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. Yes, the package is Colossus 
(https://github.com/ericgiunta/Colossus). From April to September of this year 
version 1.1.1 was available on CRAN while I updated the GitHub version, with no 
issues on CRAN. Then earlier this month I updated to version 1.1.3 to update 
the CRAN version to the GitHub version, which then failed CRAN tests. I 
submitted versions 1.1.3.1 and 1.1.4.1 to try to fix the issues, but different 
tests failed and the package was archived. So to the best of my knowledge the 
failed tests are due to changes I made to the code, not anything present in 
version 1.1.1.

I just started an issue thread on the repo that includes which tests failed for 
the last CRAN version. Unfortunately I've already tried running the various 
rhub actions on my github and was unable to replicate the testing errors. I'll 
keep trying to reproduce the issues before I resubmit anything.

Thank you all again for your help,
Eric

Hi,

I run an updated Fedora platform, and can build R under clang 18.1.8. If the 
affected package is Colossus, and https://github.com/ericgiunta/Colossus is the 
appropriate repo, could you indicate where you posted the error reports, and if 
they are not on the repo, please commit and push them there? Lluis, if you 
could help too, I'd be very grateful, for example if we can approach this 
through the github repo.

Best wishes,

Roger
