# Intermittent failures

The goal of this repository is to track intermittent failures on CRAN packages checks.
Failures defined as warnings, notes or errors without change on:

- R version used (if not stable the same svn snapshot)
- The package version (Note that CRAN might modify a package without changing the version)
- Their dependencies

**Reasons** of these failures might be because the packages depend on:

- Random generation numbers
- Flacky external resources
- Other ?

**Why** is this important?

Because package maintainers of dependencies of that package, R core and CRAN team need to check if the failures are false positives.

This repository started because it was [suggested as a step that the R-repositories working group could do](https://github.com/RConsortium/r-repositories-wg/issues/7).
