Build Windows binary

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

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.

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.

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