Hi,

After submitting a newbie package to CRAN, I received a notification after the automatic checks that it was pending a manual check.
However, I haven't heard back from CRAN since. Also, it is nowhere to be found on <https://cran.r-project.org/incoming/>

Should I wait to receive a report on the manual check, or should I contact CRAN?

P.S., Results of the automatic check are here:
<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/blosc_0.0.5_20250821_234040/>

Hi Pepijn,

You can see your package at https://cran.r-project.org/incoming/newbies/. Note that sorting is a bit special with capital first letters first, then packages with small first letters. It has only been four days according to the date stamp, so maybe give it a couple more days.

Regards,
Kristian

Indeed, as the auto notification says "A CRAN team member will typically 
respond to you within the next 10 working days." Only two passed so far. 
CRAN received > 100 newbie submissions within three days.

Best,

Hi Both,

Thanks for the quick response. Indeed, it was my bad. I overlooked the listing at CRAN incoming due to the sorting. I will patiently await the report of the manual inspection.

Pepijn

Pepijn, I bookmarked this shiny app a while ago:
https://r-hub.github.io/cransays/articles/dashboard.html

super helpful for the "is it just me? Did i miss something?" view. It lets
you see if other people have been waiting as well.

There is also the CRAN package foghorn with, amongst others, the handy 
cran_incoming function.

There is also the 'ciw' package with its 'ciw()' (== 'CRAN Incoming Watcher')
function that is a little lighter and faster.

Which is yseful for a quick run at the R prompt, or, via the `littler`
wrapper ciw.r at the command-line, which is what I do.

Default settings stop at 168 hours, 50 packages, and skip 'newbies', all that
can be overriden via command-libe flags to 'ciw,r' or arguments to
'ciw::ciw()'. It also sorts the display by 'Age' so often you see the states
'pretest', 'waiting', 'recheck' and 'inspect' intermixed.

$ ciw.r -h
Usage: ciw.r [-h] [-x] [-a] [-m] [-i] [-t] [-p] [-w] [-r] [-s] [-n] [-u] [-l rows] [-g age] [-z] [ARG...]

-m --mega           use 'mega' mode of all folders (see --usage)
-i --inspect        visit 'inspect' folder
-t --pretest        visit 'pretest' folder
-p --pending        visit 'pending' folder

-r --recheck        visit 'recheck' folder
-a --archive        visit 'archive' folder
-n --newbies        visit 'newbies' folder
-u --publish        visit 'publish' folder
-s --skipsort       skip sorting of aggregate results by age
-l --lines rows     print top 'rows' of the result object [default: 50]
-g --max age        print only package less than 'age' hours old [default: 168]
-z --ping           run the connectivity check first

Thanks for all the tips.

@josiah I'm aware of cransays (It's not a shiny app by the way, it uses pkgdown in combination with GH pages). When I checked it, I missed the paginating button at the bottom. So a silly mistake on my behalf.

@Dirk I was not aware of the 'ciw' package. I will give it a try.

General conclusion is that I need to double check before bothering other people ;).

Pepijn
