[R-pkg-devel] checking CRAN incoming feasibility NOTE - R-package-devel

Sat, Oct 5, 2019 2:52 PM #

I getting ready to submit a package to CRAN for the first time. I have run cran_prep <- check_for_cran() using the rhub package. I understand that as a new package it will generate a NOTE. As a novice, I do not know what is to be expected within that NOTE and want to make sure the NOTEs I have received are satisfactory. I have not found an example of a minimal first submission NOTE. Below is what I am getting from the above test on rhub. I have three test environments but only two NOTEs. Do these results indicate a problem to be addressed?

For a CRAN submission we recommend that you fix all NOTEs, WARNINGs and ERRORs.
## Test environments
- R-hub windows-x86_64-devel (r-devel)
- R-hub ubuntu-gcc-release (r-release)
- R-hub fedora-clang-devel (r-devel)

## R CMD check results
? On windows-x86_64-devel (r-devel), ubuntu-gcc-release (r-release)

use this::use_cran_comments()

There is a place to put that it is a new submission

I would recommend also testing using:

devtools::check_win_release()
devtools::check_win_devel()

You should only have the one note that it is a new  submission.  When you submit,  you may or may not get a note that it was rejected by the automatic checker. Sit tight, someone from CRAN will see that it is a new submission.  A new submission is given a much more thorough review,  so it can take a coupe days or more for CRAN to get back to you.  You can check the status of CRAN submissions at:
