check_for_cran() and check_with_rdevel() are broken

[dankelley]

I get as below. The list of available platforms seems to be quite limited. I am using rhub-1.1.1 with "R Under development (unstable) (2022-06-27 r82528" on macOS "Version 12.5 Beta (21G5056b)".

Hi all, unfortunately we temporarily need to stop our Windows and Linux builders, to sort out some billing issues. Hopefully we'll be able to turn them back on soon. We'll tweet here once we have more information.

Thanks @lionelvoirol for posting this issue and @gaborcsardi for taking care. I remarked the issue too since I'm releasing a package update but can't do it due to this problem. Looking forward to hear news about it. Best and thanks!

You don't technically need R-hub to release a package to CRAN. They have their own checks.

Thanks, @gaborcsardi ! Sure, in fact, that's what I just did. I used the available platforms with rhub and complemented with some local checking. But I have to say I find rhub::check_for_cran() super handy to run all tests before submitting to CRAN. Best!
