Research direction

Read the linked issue #3615 discussion and inspect how the existing Windows jobs use a private runner over SSH. Compare the rchk/Singularity and torture-run requirements, including the 24-hour runtime and possible false positives. Done means both jobs have an agreed, usable CI setup and can run reliably on the intended runner.

Description

ci

followup of https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/3615#issuecomment-497387143

  • long time (24hrs) of torture run might be an issue
  • rchk setup with singularity and not docker might be issue too

in both cases most likely solution would be to use private CI runner using ssh, same as we do for windows jobs now.
Another thing is that if those tests returns false positives often? if so it might be difficult to make them useful.
