Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the online resource, http://win-builder.r- project.org/ in order to build an R package for colleagues on Windows machines (I'm on Mac OS X). I'm not getting an email response from the server (even in my junk mail box). The site explains that the email address is need on the maintainer line in the DESCRIPTION file. Mine is listed as follows: Maintainer: Matthew Fero <mfero at fhcrc.org> Any suggestions? Matthew

(Oops, hit the wrong button.) I'd suggest asking Uwe Ligges, who maintains win-builder. I've cc'd him. If it turns out there's something incompatible between your package and his system, an alternative is to put your package on R-forge; it also does binary builds for Windows. Duncan Murdoch

Thanks, the problem is that I forgot to make a required change when swicthing to 2.9 and nobody else of the 20 authors who submitted packages sent a notice. The stuff will work again now and you will get a message within 60 minutes for your submitted package. Uwe Ligges

Many thanks.

I guess that puts me in the top 5th percentile of people unafraid of asking stupid questions. Matthew Fero
