CRAN is down right now (as in experiencing a breakage of some sort), so I assume this results from this very weird situation.

Manual upload sends the uploader back to the web form, which gains an additional message in the page body:

Unpacking failed. Please make sure the tar.gz was created with R CMD build. If so, then contact [email protected].

There is no error HTTP response or other feedback.

Per https://cran.r-project.org:

CRAN submissions are currently partly not possible due to some infrastructure issues. Please so NOT conact us if you see "Unpacking failed. Please make sure the tar.gz was created with R CMD build....". CRAN sysadmins will work on it once they are available.
In addition, processing the CRAN incoming queue of packages (CRAN pretest) is currently delayed by 2 days.

I was able to submit a new version of the datarobot package using devtools 2.4.5 on Sat Jul 15. Got the submission email, and the confirmation workflow on the CRAN page appeared to work as well.

Here's hoping the "incoming queue of packages" has been cleared...

I am cautiously optimistic that incident is over.
