[R-pkg-devel] Corrections on build errors: do I need to bump version?

Hi all,

   I received a message from CRAN asking to solve some build problems on
Debian introduced in a recent package submission (MODIStsp 1.3.4) due to a
test writing in the user's filespace (ops...).

 After making the required changes, do I need to resubmit  with the same
version number, or submit a new version?

Thanks in advance,

Lorenzo

I am in no sense an expert, but IMHO it never *hurts* to bump the 
version number.  (And it is *probably* necessary to do so in your 
circumstances.)  It is probably prudent to make a note in the Changelog 
(and it is also prudent to keep a Changelog!) to the effect "Version 
i.j-k never installed on CRAN".

But as I said, I am no expert.  Younger and wiser heads may chip in with 
advice that is more sound.

cheers,

Rolf Turner

I don't know about "younger and wiser", but I agree; I've always
bumped the version number in this situation.

You alsways have to increase the version number once you change content.

Best,
