[R-pkg-devel] Package Rejection Error Help

Thank you both very kindly - I have addressed both notes. I am still
wondering though about the RankProd dependency error - any insight into
this?

Thanks!
Andrew

I had a similar problem with intepreting "notes" in pgirmess checks.
Some are lethal and lead to rejection and some not (just informative
comments). Fortunately Uwe has been kind enough to tell me what I

missed

(I thought that all notes were just "informative").
Would it be possible to call lethal notes "errors" to keep us aware

that

we must really do something with them and fix what is actually a

problem?

These are Notes as it may not be a serious issue or may be a false
positive, nevertheless, we like to get clean packages to CRAN.

WARNINGs and ERRORs will never be accepted.

The policies clearly say that significant Notes have to be addressed.
The only Note that is always acceptable is the CRAN maintainer Note
about the package maintainer's address. All other Notes should be fixed
generally or need manual attention in case of the really very few
exceptions.

Dear all,

I am a bit puzzled by this error for the sigQC package being uploaded

to

CRAN. Checks on my end pass without issue. There is one error
regarding the
bioConductor dependency RankProd that comes up only on the Debian OS
when
checking. See here for further details:

https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/sigQC_0.1.22_20210406_110708/

I am not sure how to resolve this - it seems to me that the

dependency

*should* be available across platforms, and short of removing the
dependency (which we rely on a fair bit), I'm not sure what  we can

do.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be massively appreciated.

Thank you so kindly!
Andrew
