Dear all, I've submitted my package 'metan' to CRAN for the first time a few weeks ago and received some suggestions to improve the code. After fixing some bugs, I've resubmitted it on November 25, but I still don't have any response and the package was not found in incoming/ dir on CRAN cran ftp site. Since it is my first experience, I would like to have an idea about how long the CRAN team usually decides about a package submission.
If it is not in incoming/, something went wrong. The most common thing to go wrong is that the maintainer didn't respond to the confirmation message. That message looks like this for a resubmission. I assume first time submissions have a similar message:
Dear Duncan Murdoch Someone has submitted the package rgl to CRAN. You are receiving this email to confirm the submission as the maintainer of this package. To confirm the submission to CRAN, follow or copy & paste the following link into your browser: ...
When you confirm submission, you'll get another message that looks like this:
[This was generated from CRAN.R-project.org/submit.html] The following package was uploaded to CRAN: =========================================== Package Information: Package: rgl Version: 0.100.26
