I’d rather not mess with 2.4.0 at this point. On CRAN is nice but users can also install from Apache Mirror.
Also I had attempted and failed to get vignettes not to build, it was non trivial and could t get it to work. It I have an idea. As for tests I don’t know exact why is it not skipped. Need to investigate but worse case test_package can run with 0 test. ________________________________ From: Sean Owen <sro...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 10:51 AM To: Shivaram Venkataraman Cc: Felix Cheung; Wenchen Fan; Matei Zaharia; dev Subject: Re: [CRAN-pretest-archived] CRAN submission SparkR 2.4.0 I think the second option, to skip the tests, is best right now, if the alternative is to have no SparkR release at all! Can we monkey-patch the 2.4.0 release for SparkR in this way, bless it from the PMC, and release that? It's drastic but so is not being able to release, I think. Right? or is CRAN not actually an important distribution path for SparkR in particular?
