[R-pkg-devel] CRAN upload and prechecking confusion

Hello,

I'm trying to submit a new version (0.10.2) of my package
(multipanelfigure) to CRAN and have received the following email:

Dear maintainer,
  
package multipanelfigure_0.10.2.tar.gz does not pass the incoming
checks automatically, please see the pre-test at:
<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/170824_085724
_mul
tipanelfigure_0102/00check.log>
Status: 2 NOTEs
  
Current CRAN status: ERROR: 1, OK: 10
See: <https://CRAN.R-project.org/web/checks/check_results_multipa
nelf
igure.html>

This is confusing. What's the deal breaker?
The 2 Notes (which are timing issues related to drawing grid
graphics)
or
the Error on x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 which is based on the fact
that
gridGraphics is unavailable for that platform and even more
confungsingly seems to be based on the former version (0.9.0) of
the
package ...

The URL's you've referenced have both expired.

I would suggest re-running your package checks using R-devel on RHub
and 
Winbuilder first, and copying any output you receive.

Then it will be easier for others to help you.

Thank you for that hint. I run on https://builder.r-hub.io and as on my
own arch systems, there appears to be NO issue with the package using
debian:
