Guidance on which machines to use; JAGS not available on some machines

[cschwarz-stat-sfu-ca]

This is a continuation of a previous bug report.
I converted to rhub v.2, and did a rhub_check on my BTSPAS package.

(a) This gives a long list of machines. I choose all of them. THis is likely overkill.
Please provide some guidance in documentation, or function, on which machines to use in a package check.
For example, I suspect that for most users submitting a package the first 4 machines are enough?

(b) My BTPSAS package needs JAGS.
Some of the machines don't have JAGS installed/not available.
Please provide guidance on which machine do NOT have JAGS installed.

THanks
Carl Schwarz

CRAN chooses the platforms, not us:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_flavors.html
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_issue_kinds.html
I don't think it is a format requirement to use any of them.

Re JAGS, it is pre-installed on the Ubuntu libc++ containers, installed on demand automatically on the other Ubuntu VMs and containers, and Fedora does not have JAGS, so it is currently not availables for those. I guess it is now needed by enough packages that I can build a package for Fedora 38, so it'll be installed on demand there as well.

Thanks ... those links were most helpful in understanding what the various machines on rhub check and which I can likely safely ignore. Carl.
