from civis-r.

To reproduce the above check error with the latest future 1.31.0 on CRAN, set:

export R_FUTURE_CHECK_IGNORE_CIVIS=false

before running R CMD check.

from civis-r.

I submitted an updated version of the civis package (v3.1.0) to CRAN for approval. In this new version, the "local" argument to the CivisFuture() function has been deprecated, and we are no longer passing it on the the future::Future() function. To confirm, I ran R CMD CHECK with R_FUTURE_CHECK_IGNORE_CIVIS set to false and all checks passed.

The new submission passed CRAN's automated checks and is now waiting for manual review, which should be completed within ~5 days. We should be ready on our end for you to make the proposed changes to the future package.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and for your patience!

It passes my revdep checks. Thanks.
