Simon,

What you attempt to answer is not the relevant question (as Ivan concurred in
private email).  I can only invite you again to maybe venture to answer the
question I asked rather than belabor a point I didn't make (even if you fancy
lecturing on that one).

Lastly, as you may may missed it in two previous emails: this public post was
preceded by a private email that was also ignored, hence no repeat to private
email to c...@r-project.org.

Can you please tell us the subject / date you used? I do not see it in our archive, but I may use the wrong search criteria. (Note that we are searching in an archive of 70000 messages from/to CRAN/CRAN-submissions produced only in 2022, i.e. > 300 mail messages a day.)

Best,
Uwe



Cheers,  Dirk

| as Ivan pointed out there is no indication that your package was flagged due 
to 0 byte leaks given other possible problems in the report which is likely why 
it is red, but we can't know since you didn't say, so it's all purely 
speculative. Given the total lack of details I wouldn't expect any further 
answer here unless you can provide those.

(I have not seen any mention of it there) since the actually relevant member 
may not see it otherwise.
