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.

Hi all,
Is win-builder down? I submitted a couple of packages >24 hours
and haven't heard back.

Me too. Submitted a package about 18 hours ago, and so far not a
sausage. Although it's churlish to complain, one gets used to a
that has been provided and gets annoyed when the service disappears.
True, but it would be unnecessary if `R CMD check ?as-cran` did exactly
the same thing as win-builder (as well as the extra, informal checks
done on a first submission).
Not entirely true. The package that I am currently trying to get built
is for use by some consulting clients and is not (yet) for public
release. So I can't/don't submit it to CRAN so as to get a Windoze
binary that way.
cheers,
Rolf
P.S. I note that the winbuilder web site says:
Please do not upload Bioconductor packages or CRAN packages.
Both Bioconductor and CRAN do have build systems ....
I presume that this exhortation is of some antiquity and is "no longer
operative".
