[R-pkg-devel] Submitting a package to C-RAN

7 messages · Travers Ching, Mark van der Loo, Manny Calavera +1 more

I am trying to submit a package to CRAN.  It did not pass the automated
checks.  However, I don't understand what it is I am supposed to fix.

I have run R CMD check ... -- as-cran and it seems to pass.  And I have
also verified that it installs and works on ubuntu and windows.

The message I get from the submission system is:

Dear maintainer,

package msgpack2R_0.1.tar.gz does not pass the incoming checks
automatically, please see the pre-test at:
<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/
170903_030012_msgpack2R_01/00check.log>
Status: 3 NOTEs

It doesn't list any warnings or errors.

I suggest you follow the link and check the notes..

Check the logs here:

https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/170903_030012_msgpack2R_01/

Are you using the latest R-devel version (not the current stable version)
to run R CMD check --as-cran ?

Per https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/170903_030012_msgpack2R_01/00check.log 
you three NOTEs:

1. Spelling in DESCRIPTION: You need ' around those words, ie 'MsgPack'; I
also suggest consistent use of capitals.

2. Installed package size:  There is nothing you can here. (Short of maybe
using 'LnkingTo: RcppMsgPack' as my package already includes MsgPack)

3. Top-level directory examples: You probably want to have that directory be 
inst/examples instead.

Thanks for your help!  I misunderstood the purpose of 'notes' and was only
looking for errors/warnings.  Also, could you update RccpMsgPack to use the
latest version?

You still want to address the fixable notes.

I can't quite remember why I decided to stay at 1.4.* but yes, I can probably
look into 2.1.* as well.

Shall we (maybe off-line) talk about potentially merging the two packages?

Sure thing.  How did you want to merge them?
